madly in love
Head over heels
Madly in love describes intense romantic attachment—the consuming, almost irrational state of being completely smitten with someone.
The *madly* suggests love so strong it borders on obsession or temporary insanity: They were madly in love that first summer.
Often used nostalgically about early passion or to emphasize depth of feeling: After forty years, he's still madly in love with her.
