love of my life
One true person
The love of my life is a person regarded as one's greatest romantic attachment—the one who matters most, whether a current partner, a lost love, or someone who got away.
The phrase carries weight precisely because it's singular and superlative: She was the love of my life, and I let her go.
Sometimes used of non-romantic passions: Baseball has been the love of my life.
