No, the meaning would not be different if "in" is omitted from this sentence. "In" here is a preposition for "whatever form that takes". "In" is used because "love" is "enclosed" by the "form it takes". Ex: She was dressed in black yesterday. ("In" is used because "she" was "enclosed" by "black clothing")
