If you are in love, then you will do anything to make the other person happy and cared for, even if it is at your own expense. You will willingly sacrifice your own well-being, security, and comfort to ensure that the other person is taken care of. If they love you back, then they shall do the same.
Lust is defined by almost the exact opposite qualities - you only care for the other person in a superficial manner. You just want them for their physical aspects; to satisfy your selfish desires. In a short description:
Love = you see yourself as an extension of the other person.
Lust = you see the other person as an extension of yourself.
This is just my understanding, though.
