Two friends of mine who had been going out for 6 years: the girl broke up with the guy but made every effort to remain close friends because she still loved him, just not in THAT way.

It's entirely possible to love a member of the opposite sex in a way that is purely plutonic, and for that love to be quite strong. If you have a strong connection with somebody and get on with them and become an important part of eachothers' lives, you love them, be that love plutonic or otherwise. It could be that that's how it is for this girl of yours.
