Lust is for and about you. Love is for and about someone else (in this case your boyfriend).
Don't second guess yourself. If he was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, you'd be certain of it.

Many good strong lasting relationships and marriages are between people who are close friends.
Ask yourself what your life would be like without him. If you can't live without him, this is love.
