Wow where do I start? I don’t know much, but here’s what I do know. Love is powerful. So so powerful. It can transform a rainy day into a field of sunflower. Create a path of light even through the dark. To love and to be loved are the most beautiful feelings in the world. These may not apply to everyone but some things I’ve picked up on are:

They love you on your worst days. There can come a time where you might not even love yourself, but they still will.
They don’t just tell you that they love you but they show you through their actions. No matter how busy their day was or how crazy of a schedule they have, they always make you feel wanted and invited.
You can see them holding your hair back when your sick and running to the store for some hot chicken noodle soup and Advil.
They listen. They care about what you have to say and value your opinion even when it’s not exactly what they want to hear.
They understand you. Even if you’re rambling on about something, they show empathy towards you.
They compromise. They have the ability to work things through by bending at times to adapt to your wants/needs.
They forgive. Love can be hard sometimes, but they will always forgive you and move on, even if you’re wrong.
They want to see you succeed. No, no, they loveeee to see you succeed. Nothing brings them more joy than watching you accomplish your goals.
They 100% support you. They really just want the best for you and your happiness. If you’re happy, they’re happy.
They’re consistent. The person who loves you always makes an effort to show you that you are loved. It’s not a switch that they flip on and off. They’ll consistently love you.
They love you no matter what. This ones mainly for the guys but you can be jobless with no income and they’ll still stand by your side cheering you on as you go on to your next career hunt.
They surprise you unexpectedly. I don’t mean a 20K diamond ring. I mean the kind of “I saw this bracelet at the store and thought of you” or “my friend is selling chocolates and I bought you one!” Just small gestures to show you they care.
They’re love is freeing, not controlling. They allow you to do as you please because they want you to feel comfortable and secure. You’re not in fear of them leaving you or waking up one day and not liking you. They’ve proven they’ll be there for you no matter what.
If the day ever comes that you do decide to part ways, they’ll still thank you for the love and light you brought into their life and genuinely pray and hope that your future is filled with everything they couldn’t give you. Just because things didn’t work out for you two, they harbor no hate.
They make you a priority in their life. Their love is never questionable. At times you may feel a little doubtful of this but they’re right there again to remind you.
They work on themselves in order to be a better partner for you. They see your likes and dislikes and acknowledge them. They work on self-improvement so they can grow with you and continue to be a part of your life.
They’re reliable. Your car breaks down? You need a ride home from the airport? They’re there and if they can’t be, they always find a way to make sure you’re safe.
You can trust them at all times. They follow through and make sure that trust and respect are given. Their word is always kept.
