Dictionary definitions from my EDICT based dictionary.

> 想い人​【おもいびと】(n) loved one; lover; sweetheart
>
> 恋人​【こいびと】(n) lover; sweetheart

I was wondering, since these definitions are nearly the same, are there any
differences in nuance and etc between these (other than how the latter is more
common as far as I'm aware)?
