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 I´m wondering: did part of Galadriel´s 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 couldn´t show him, because she was married to Celeborn? I haben´t read the letters, or HoME, so I don´t know if Tolkien ever says more on the subject. Does he?

Personally, though I´m missing sorces, I´d say it maybe is possible. When Celebrimbor stepped into Galadriel´s life, she´s been married to Celeborn for at least 3000 years. Maybe she did love him back, but didn´t 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.
