Some people say it's admiration but no one admires anyone that much. She acted like she had lost a child or something. You don't see an officer react the same way to their captain dieing as they would if their child died.

Also I think it's rather silly that people try to say that they were a couple. Just because Pearl was into her doesn't mean Rose shared those feelings. Exactly. If they were  acouple, how is Steven here right now? Well, I wouldn't exactly say that Pearl and Rose Quartz having been a couple is impossible. They knew each other for thousands and thousands of years. It's entierly plausible that they could've had a romantic relationship somewhere in the span of time that they'd known each other. Knowing this though, I still think that (in canon) Pearl's love for Rose Quartz went unrequited, but had she actually made an effort to woo her, they probably could've developed a romantic relationship. It would make the fact that Rose ended up with Greg even sadder on Pearl's part though, because it means that Pearl lost the one that she loved simply because someone else came and did what she was too afraid to do herself. She waited too long and now has to live with the consequence of her inaction. You're right. It's possible that they could've had something. But, as you said, Rose chose Greg in the end and that's what I focus on.
