How do you know when you're really important to someone?

Like in a company, you know your worth by your pay, and your bonuses. In a family environment, you know you're important and part of the family through the blood flowing through your veins. From your friends, you know you're important to them, when they bother to call you, drop you a msg or update you whenever something major happens in their lives.

But to that special person in your life, i think you somehow just trust your instinct and trust in them, that you are actually that important to them.

Sometimes, they say things or do stuff that makes your heart go woozy, and special words are said to tell you that you're important. Every little thing said and done, is to make you feel that extra bit special. Every hug, every hand-squeeze, every small little act. I think somehow, there will be times that aren't so good and this is when you squeeze the mileage out of these small acts and appreciate them fully, to remind you of things that you might forget. Maybe by remembering, things aren't as bad as they seem. Slowly, as time passes, hopefully, these acts will get more, and you trust in them, to the extent that you won't need anything to know what's in the other's heart. For now, things are still ok, there are good times and bad ones, but you remember only the good and just head on forward.
