One of the most important parts of any relationship, is knowing your partner better than they know themselves. This is paying attention to the small details that could lead to more important information, such as noticing what things make them smile and which things make them not.

While many try to understand their partners, some don’t have a good enough connection to see that deeply into them. But when that connection is there and they care enough to pay attention, it makes all the difference.

Thank you for paying attention.

Thank you for noticing when my mood gets redirected. For not pestering me when my mood gets shifted in a downward direction, but instead taking it upon yourself to think about what could’ve been the prior cause. Only then being if you come up short handed that you ask me.

Thank you for picking up on the little things. Like the way I bite the inside of my cheek when I get nervous. Or the way I don’t make eye contact talking to you when something’s bothering me.

You’ll never understand how much that means to me. To have someone pay attention to all of the details that, not even I knew were there. For not only paying attention, but caring enough to do something about it.

Anybody can pay attention to the details, but it takes someone who actually cares enough to do something about the knowledge they’re given.

I’ve never been more grateful to have someone in my life that cares about the details like I do. Someone who cares about me as much as I do them. Someone whose main goal is to keep me as happy as possible but also to be there with loving arms for the moments where he can’t.

Thank you to the boyfriend who pays attention. Your attentiveness means more than words could ever express. You’re an angel in disguise and I’m so happy to call you mine.
