To be loved...
Alexandre—the only person I ever wanted to love me... she vanished from my life more than forty years ago.

Thanks, marina and Wendy.

I agree with Marina's suggestion: The only person I ever wanted to love me . . .
I think this is actually the most complete and expressive statement.

T ?
The only person by whom I ever wanted to be loved... ??
If you don't want to change your structure: The only person I ever wanted to make love me...
I'm not really happy with either. :-)
Maybe : The only person I ever wanted to bring to love me...
The only person I ever wanted to love me... ( simpler but not complete)
