Have some problems with understanding the real meaning.

The This is a question for native speakers. Thank you very much a lot in advance for your help. Tell me, please, may is the following phrase be neutral. I mean may does it have nothing to do with a romantic context? Here is the phrase " Please, read my previous messages in message history and you will find only love and purely love feelings" (*1). I wonder if it may be it have been said to a friend or not?

*1: I did not correct the phase because I want to comment on exactly what was said. By saying 'love and purely love feelings' it does possibly imply romantic feelings if you are talking to someone who may be romantically interested in you. It would certainly be confusing for them as it is not grammatically correct and uses the word 'love' twice. If you wanted to convey that you care, but not in a romantic way I think the following would be better:

"Please read my previous messages in the message history. You will find that I have only shown concern and best wishes for you."

You could also add "As a friend, I care about you very much and I hope you know that."
