Spanish speakers, need your help.

What is the correct way to say "You are my heart"
Is it 1)Eres mi corazon-2)Tu eres mi corazon or 3)Tu mi corazon?

The first two are fine.

Thanks!

De nada.

Yeah the first two. It doesn't matter whether or not you put the "tu".

Next time you're in doubt, ask yourself this:

Alright, there's "you" and there's "my heart". What links these two words? You can say many things depending on the verb you use:

You need my heart
You squeeze my heart
You see my heart
You are my heart

That's why the 3rd option cannot be used. As for the second one, keep in mind that "Eres" has "tu" hidden within its meaning, so you can drop it whenever you feel lazy to use it.

So, if I want to say You ARE my heart, Eres mi corazon is the best bet?

Well, if you really want the Spanish part to be brief, you can ommit "tu" without major problems gramatically. It all depends on the emphasis you want to give. You can add the word "tu" or her name in order to emphasize that she, and she only, is your heart. From "Eres mi corazon" to ", tu eres mi corazon" you're saying the very same thing, but in a strong (or lighter) way.
