for Tiffany about love

As I lay in my bed thinking about my life, I know that I know nothing about love. I thought I knew, but I don't.
When I think this, my train of thought drifts towards all the people I've ever said "I love you" to. I've said that to a lot of people. I throw the phrase around a lot. I've mainly said it to family that I don't even know that we'll. And I don't know them so I don't really mean it. I've said it to my parents and brother and I'm the most sure on that one. After all, they gave me life and raised me. Then, my close friends. I realize I don't know them as well as I wish I did so I can't saw it's true for all of them. The ones that are closest I'm almost as sure as my immediate family. This is like 3 to 5 people.
There is also every one I've ever dated. And the first person, I don't think child me was ready to start dating. The second, we have problems to this day but I strongly believe that at one point I loved her. The third, I never realized he was a different person I thought him to be. The fourth, the purest relationship. It wasn't love or any romance just kids with a dumb crush. We both knew it wouldn't last. The fifth I believe him to be a better person than anyone thought he was. I believe he'll do great things one day, or end up in jail. The sixth she was amazing and I appreciate all the help she has given me. The seventh and current I can say, like some of the people on this, makes me very happy.

And so I wrote this at 2 in the morning

I know that I don't know love, but I want to learn and be better.

I can't continue this story for many reasons like it's too cringey, I don't have the time, and I can't write a story about love if I don't know what it is.
