While this sentence is possible, it would not be accurate to say it. The expression "I'm in love with" can certainly be used in a metaphorical (symbolic) sense: you can say you are in love with strawberry ice cream, and people will understand you are just exaggerating to make a point; you do not mean you want to have a romance with strawberry ice cream. But the Word "literally" tends to mean factually, or Word-for-Word, so it might not be appropriate in the sentence you asked about. It is used like this: He takes the Bible literally. (In other Words, he believes every Word is true.)
