To answer your first question-Lust is any intense desire or craving for self gratification and excitement. Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Your friendship has lasted for years, and sometimes with those friendships, you can like them for a long time, wake up one day, and feel that you do not like the person anymore, that is normal. Feelings and emotions change so often. It could have been a phase, and maybe down the road you will like her again. I do not believe it is lust, because you seem to care about her too much to JUST want her. Bottom line, you have not betrayed her. You guys seem to be great friends and should continue to let your friendship grow. I hope i helped :)
