Sting Galadriel- a love lost?

If I understood this correctly in the UT, Celebrimbor loved Galadriel, and to some extend she loved him back. Now Iīm wondering: did part of Galadrielīs melachony come from losing Celebrimbor, and never giving her love? He adored her -he gave her Nenya, and everything- and is it possible that she loved him back, but couldnīt show him, because she was married to Celeborn? I habenīt read the letters, or HoME, so I donīt know if Tolkien ever says more on the subject. Does he?

Personally, though Iīm missing sorces, Iīd say it maybe is possible. When Celebrimbor stepped into Galadrielīs life, sheīs been married to Celeborn for at least 3000 years. Maybe she did love him back, but didnīt know herself: he was a descendant of Feanor, and younger than her, and she was a married woman. Maybe, in remeberance of this love she could have had, her melanchony and longing for Valinor increased.
