Gentlemen, I present the Analytical:

http://philpapers.org/archive/SINPG

Abstract: I argue that if David Lewis’ modal realism is true, modal realists
from different possible worlds can fall in love with each other. I offer
a method for uniquely picking out possible people who are in love with
us and not with our counterparts. Impossible lovers and trans-world love
letters are considered. Anticipating objections, I argue that we can stand
in the right kinds of relations to merely possible people to be in love with
them and that ending a trans-world relationship to start a relationship
with an actual person isn’t cruel to one’s otherworldly lover.
