At any cost, be honest with him. In every word, action, and thought, be true. When he asks your favorite color, say “Blue.” When he offers fruit, eat mango. When you hold his hand, lace your fingers in his with your thumb riding outermost. When you’re getting off, know that he is rooting for you. When he makes you cry, let him see it. When you make him cry, do so with good reason. When you spoon, take the inside. When you wake him with a phone call, understand that he needs it more than you do, no matter how much you may need it. When you curse his name, make it audible. When you lie, tell the truth: when you touch another man, think of him.


Note
The mango line came to me while listening to Herman Dune's Orange Hat [mp3] for the umpteenth time. It contains the lyric:

When you go out,
wear your orange hat.
And do it
for me.


The rest grew naturally from that.
