Struggling to feel strong love for our Prophet (SAWS)

Assalamu alaikum, I reverted to Islam about five years ago, Alhamdulillah, from being Roman Catholic. I feel a deep love for Islam and for Allah, Alhamdulillah, but I came across something written by another revert who described how their love for Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) grew as they learned about him. I respect our Prophet (SAWS), but I don’t feel that same strong love or connection, and it bothers me-Astaghfirullah. Please don’t judge me, I just want to know how I can work on this. I’ve tried sending Salawat, but maybe not enough, and I’ve read about him, but that strong feeling isn’t there yet. Any advice? Eish, it’s tough.
