I have a love affair and I want to give a Valentine's Day card to him. I got a card. It says, "To my lover, to my close friend." I can't call him boyfriend or husband but I do really love him. I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm not sure, but if I use the word, "lover", can it mean "my sweatheart"? Can he feel how much I love him? My friend who is also a foreigher told me that "lover" has a strong meaning of sexual relationship. Yes, we have such a relationship, but I really want him to know that he is very special and mean to me. So, what's exactly "lover" mean?

I associate lover with having a sexual affair with someone you're not dating.

lover can mean anything you want it to --- sexual and non sexual --- it denotes that someone loves you and/or makes love to you --- its not the same as sweetheart --- so you can use both in your card
