The meanings are restricted by language conventions. You could easily classify love into several types, like the greeks - agape, philos, eros, etc. Practically speaking, the difference between love and friendship is that friends are bros, and bros are not for fucking. A lover is a friend you also want to fuck.

Eros is romantic love; we want to be close to them beyond a platonic sense. We love them like we love our friends, but there is the deeper love below. Phila us familiar love; the love we have for our parents and siblings. Phila is a strong love and can weather major issues, but lacks the deeper love Eros has. Both however can be shared with friends, i.e. a long term girlfriend for eros, who is also a recipient of philia

love is to will the good of the other as other despite yourself.
a friend is merely a term for the relationship of that love.
