Adore

To regard with the utmost esteem, love, and
respect; honor.

I love this word, mainly because it looks good when written, is sweet sounding, has a meaning greater than love, and is also much less overused than the word ‘love’. Hearing someone say ‘I adore you’ is actually nicer, for me, than hearing someone say ‘I love you’… Keeping in mind that nothing can really replace those three words.

Also, it was the title of one of The Smashing Pumpkins albums, I guess they like it as much as I do.
