As an abstract feeling, "love" is an uncountable noun! However, "love" can be a countable noun referring to a person that you love or a passion. Here, though, "a love" means a type or kind of love, the qualities that come with it, or kind of like a relationship. Ex: I have so much love for my family. Ex: I don't know how to explain the feeling of love. Ex: Football is one of many loves in life. Ex: How many past loves have you had? => people that you've loved or been in a relationship with Ex: I want a love full of fun and excitement. => similar to "relationship"
