When you truly love someone, you put them at the top of your priority list. This doesn’t mean that everything else in your life becomes irrelevant.

That doesn’t mean you’ll abandon your closest friends because your person is the only one worth hanging out with. That doesn’t mean you relax during work hours because you’re too distracted to pay attention to anything other than your sweetheart.

It doesn’t mean you give up on your dreams and sacrifice your morals to make space for yourself.

It means you spend time with him. It means you consider his feelings. It means that you care about his happiness as much as yours.

When you truly love someone, you cannot spontaneously choose the option that makes your day better without sparing a thought about it.

You cannot recklessly make selfish decisions that will also affect you. You have to think twice about accepting a co-worker’s invitation to have a few drinks and come home late, because you know your person will worry about where you’ve been and maybe you’ll even ruin the dinner he prepared for you with so much affection.

When you truly love someone, there are difficult decisions you will have to make on a daily basis.

However, putting someone at the top of your priority list doesn’t mean they are your top priority every day. There will be days when you have an important meeting and you won’t be able to respond to her message right away. There will be weekends when you leave him bored and alone because you promised a friend you would go out with him.

Your person can’t expect you to drop everything for her. She can’t expect you to give up your whole life for her. She can’t expect you to put her first every day because that’s not how the world works.

But, there will be days when you have to put it first. There will be days when you have to worry about her happiness above all else.

When you truly love someone, you will never make them feel second best. You avoid his news feed during dinner while he’s trying to talk to you. You avoid spending too much time away from him. You avoid hurting his feelings with short answers, because seeing him cry would make you cry too.

When you truly love someone, you promise to take good care of them, even if it means you have extra work to do. You plan dates. You answer text messages. You show up on time. You surprise him with spontaneous caresses. You never feel like you’re wasting energy on him. You feel that your energy is being put to good use and with the right person.

When you truly love someone, you make sure they are always appreciated. You make sure it gets recognized. You make sure he feels like an important part of your world, because once he starts wondering how much you really care, it won’t be long before he gets tired of you.
