Phrase - Does it make sense?

[rizu]

Does this make any sense at all?

I wanted to say something along the lines of: "I love Ryan. He owns/holds my heart."

(I apologize for the romaji...)
watashi wa Ryan ga daisuki desu. watashi no kokoro o tokoro ari suru.

I know "aishiteru" is stronger and should probably say that instead........... (considering have been together for over 2.5years.)

watashi no kokoro o tokoro ari suru.

That's alright as far as "watashi no kokoro" but "o tokoro ari suru" makes no sense.

[rizu]

gah. *embarassing*

How would I go about saying that last sentence?
Thanks. : )

You could try "kare wa watashi no kokoro o motteimasu." but I give no guarrantees.

[rizu]

I am not sure what verb to use really....

these are probably too literal:
motu
kakaeru

...

Ah, okay. Thanks for the suggestion. : )

@rizu

You probably confused the Chinese and the Japanese reading here. The word is pronounced "shoyuu", not "tokoro ari". (所有)
Also I`m fairly sure that you`d probably get your point across if you say or write "kare ha watashi no kokoro wo motte imasu" but it doesn`t sound natural to me.

How about something along the lines of "itsumo kare no koto wo omotte imasu" which would translate to "I`m always thinking of him". I know, it`s not quite the same but the Japanese expression is actually a lot stronger than the English equivalent and I think this phrase expresses what you are trying to say quite closly.

You can also try: kare wa watashi niwa ichiban daijin na hito desu. He is the most important person to me. It would have similar effect to "he holds my heart". But no guarantees from me either lol.

The sentence is not wrong but it implies that others don`t think so well of him (because of the second "wa").
Also I think you ment to say daiji, not daijin, that would mean minister. (大事 VS 大臣)

How about "kare ha watashi ni totte ichiban daiji na hito desu."

I suppose Kampfbrot-san's "itsumo kare no koto wo omotte imasu" sounds so natural.

Or how about this:
"Ryan no koto ga daisukidesu. watashi wa kare no toriko desu."
