Based on this definition, you cannot 'love' a physical object such as your Game Boy or a computer. You feel attachment and the need to have it, however it is not a person, so it does not meet the criteria of the definition; it is not love.

"I bring you love"
"Is that the love of a man for a woman, or the love of a man for a fine cuban cigar?"

We clearly use the word in relation to non-persons all the time. I don't think we're just -misusing- the word, I think you're being too restrictive in your definition.
