I'm not sure it's possible to have the "everyday is like the first day" feeling after you've been together for a number of years. I personally think the familiarity is better than the butterflies, because butterflies are all about being nervous and excited about the unknown (IMO) and you can't really have that so much after you've really gotten to know a person inside and out.
What comes after the butterflies should be stronger and more fulfilling. It's about being best friends as well as lovers. After 12 yrs with my SO it's like being able to read each other's minds. To me that is better and more satisfactory than the butterflies I got when he first kissed me.
I think it's OK in a relationship to question if what you feel is love, but you are saying unequivocally you do not love her- there's no question. So it's obviously not the right relationship.
