Hi, is this sentence correct?
"I cherish my thoughts for you"

And also this:
"The one who had loved them"

Thank you.

Not really. It is grammatically correct, but its meaning is murky and suspect. If you love the person why not simply say "I cherish you"? Cherishing your own feelings is not really to the point, besides being narcissistic.

And also this:
"The one who had loved them"

That is not even a sentence.

Thank you :)
The second one, "the one who had loved them" - Is this grammatically correct?

As for this, I'm trying to express that I'm thinking of someone and I cherish that feeling/moment...

So, should I write
1) I cherish my thoughts for you
Or
2) I cherish my thoughts of you?

Thank you.

I wouldn't use "cherish my thoughts" at all.

Perhaps:

I love the way it feels when I'm thinking about you.
