Love is a verb and should be seen in action. One of the things I loathe the most is claiming to me love when your actions say otherwise.

I know you love me when my presence makes you shy when you are in close contact with me and when you try to be overly confident to a third party when I’m around you. I like people being themselves regardless of my presence but when I see you do this, I know you just might be falling head over heels for me.

I know you love me when you take my stuff just as important as you would take yours. You are always checking in, following up, and wanting to see that I get the things important to me sorted out.

I know you love me when you love talking to me and being in the same space (not always physical) as me. You always find the time to speak to me despite your busy schedules and you ensure I don’t seem like a burden to you despite time constraints.

I know you love me when  though you don’t use Instagram, you start checking my posts there just to keep up with things going on my Social media. I don’t think this is insecurity, it shows me that you care for the places I show up and if you can, you will be there too.

I know you love me when I do extra weird and annoying things to you and you correct me lovingly without much judgment – passing your message across but still making me feel loved in the midst of it.

I know you love me when age is just a number. No one is being traditional with age differences and whether I am older or you are younger isn’t the point – the point is the love we share and the mutual respect we can offer to each other.

I know you love me when I tell you things bothering me about us and you don’t discard them, calling me insensitive but try to find workable situations for the both of us. A relationship is serious work and you are ready to make it work so long I’m still interested.

I know you love me when you know the relationship has lapsed and we are just in it so we won’t add to the numbers of our heartbreaks. It is tough to walk away but love isn’t selfish. We have that conversation and move forward individually.

I know you love me when my gist is as important as yours. You don’t only want to be heard, you also give your full attention and make me feel comfortable chatting with you.

I know you love me when we talk about the future – yours, mine, and ours. No one’s ambition is more important than the other. You know this and are willing to make sacrifices as much as I am.

I know you love me when you open your mouth to say the words.

I hope this resonates with you.

Thank you for reading.
