with loves
A person who loves, lover, or one who is emotionally attached; can denote a person with affection toward another (as in a friend, companion, or beloved), including both positive and, more rarely, illicit or inappropriate affections. The term primarily indicates a personal, emotional attachment, not merely courteous regard, and is distinguished from terms for kinsman or formal friend by its emphasis on emotive bond and sometimes erotic context.
