James Marsters said it himself that Spike went in there for Buffy, and died for Buffy.
And as for Buffy loving Spike, she did love him. But she understood that him dying was something that needed to be done. That the rest of the world was on the line. She respected his decision. Did she want it, of course not, but she knew it needed to be done. She says herself to Spike she wasn't ready for him to not be there, but when it came down to the rest of the world, she was mature enough to realize that her feelings didn't matter.
There were many times Buffy wouldn't let Spike die, when the world wasn't on the line. In Never Leave Me, she wouldn't kill him when he begged for it. In Showtime she fought off a superstrong ubervamp to save him. In Lies My Parents Told Me she defied Giles to go save him. During season seven when he was under the influence of the first, she still wouldn't kill him.
Same with Amends, Graduation Day, and Zeppo, the world wasn't on the line.
All of late season two, Buffy's love for Angel caused her to be selfish with her denial in her duty to the rest of the world to kill him, and it caused harm to a lot of people. People died, Giles was tortured, Jenny was killed. But finally she understood she had to kill him for the fate of the rest of the world, just like the Buffy of Chosen who was in love with Spike understood that she needed to let him go be her hero, the hero he wanted to be for her. She left because she owed it to him to live the life she, and he, wanted her to be able to live.
