Why must there be a rank for people we love. Whoes first, whoes second  and so on and so forth.

Why can't there be a group of people who equally, I hold to my heart dear? And based on occasion, situation or just normal daily life routines, these individuals will be prioritized or un-prioritized physically as needed. But nonetheless still in my heart.

Its not a race or a competition. So I cannot understand or fathom the idea of numbering off the people you love. Yes I will admit that there will be a few people that dominate over most of our physical time, attention and love because of relations. But that does not mean one has to rank all people they love.
