Boyfriend just told me I am his favorite person 😍

I know that's a given, but I can't help but choke up. He just texted me saying "you are my favorite person, I just want to rub noses with you and see you smile". I honestly don't know what to say, I'm speechless. I have never had anyone say nice things like he does before. Can someone help me with a reply because I'm tearing up :')
