If only he knew I still loved him
I think you misspelled "Je l'amais", you should have written "je l'aimais", that is why I propose "I still loved him". Otherwise it should have been "que je l'aime toujours" in French.
Hope it helps.

: Had he known that I still loved him. L'imparfait implique qu'elle ou il ne l'aime plus, donc pas de présent. Mais la concordance des temps laisse à désirer...

I wish he knew I still love him
if the reference is the present
I wish he had known I still loved him
if you refer to the past
