Answer

Native Koreans correct me if I am wrong pls.

-기 위해(서) means "in order too" or "for"...:

For me to go traveling (in order to go traveling) I need to save money
여행을 가기 위해서 (저는) 돈을 모아야 해요.

Then there is -에게 or -한테, which would mean "for" when you give a letter or gift:
I bought a present for Nyancat
Nyancat 씨에게 선물을 샀어요
Nyancat 씨한테 선물을 샀어요

Finally, the word "you" is a bit funny in Korean language. For wife or husband and close friends you can use 당신, but in most other cases you would use Name + 씨 or name plus title or something. 그대 is more used in literature and songs.

Good luck!

Answer

for = 위해
I bought this gift for you. = 난 너를 '위해' 이 선물을 샀어.
My heart beats only for you. = 내 심장은 오직 너 만을 '위해' 뛰어.
