how do you love?

how do you know when you're loving someone 'the right way'? or if the love you have to offer is enough to suffice their needs? looking at myself, i don't seem to be doing things according to how their supposed to be done. (i'm saying this with the knowledge that things aren't supposed to be done in one way alone but isn't it comforting to know that you're doing something the prescribed or tried and tested way?) i don't write poems for him and even spend more time writing about other people, i don't dedicate songs to him, i don't have deep, soulsearching conversations with him, i don't selflessly spend all my money to buy him things that he might desire... but i love him.... and isn't it true that love is all you need? ooohhh the confusion.... love is a word thrown around too often that it makes me question the value of saying it. is love really all you need? is there something i'm missing? this relationship thing is fulfilling and mindboggling at the same time. i mean its good to know that you have a shoulder to lean on and in return you are a shoulder to lean on as well, but is all that comfort worth getting that feeling that you're not really giving your partner what he deserves?  is it worth being in a relationship when its a half-baked one?
