Lust Vs. Love

What shall be considered the difference between love and lust?

One idea is to say lust is all sexual, while love has non-sexual emotions into it. We can attribute more affection to love, but lust belongs to wild animals with no insightful emotions.

However, I don't think this paradigm really works for me. I'd rather think that love is a complicated form of sexual emotions. In fact, affection and sexuality are tied to each other, in a way that there can't be a boundary defined between them.

So it can be somehow interpreted that love has to do with lust. Does it bring down the value of love? Or we have to change our depth measure scales so that lust can be equally valuable?
