Looking back, the most meaningful moments of my life have been those where I‘ve felt closest to those I love- typically as a result of a shared experience or a vulnerable/honest conversation. If my time was running short, I think I would just put any awkwardness aside and tell people what they mean to me and how much I love them. Such conversations may also reverberate and inspire others to be more intentional in their relationships with the time they have left.
And to echo another rec, I think it’s important to first identify what is most important to you personally and then invest in that. Brene Brown’s values exercise might be a good place to start!

On one hand: it just flows. You can't get enough of them. Your eyes, their eyes—could be the only thing that matters in the whole world. Their voice hits you like electricity. When alone, you wonder why you aren't with them. Mundane things, at their side, become adventures. You occupy your own universe that is a secret from all others.
And on the other hand: it is a labor. Your beloved, who stirs and ignites your affection so much, is also the one who most exposes your pride and weaknesses. As you dive into them and truly know them, you discover they are broken and selfish and human. And they discover that about you. The easy slide down the snowy hill of excitement becomes a long drag back up the other side.
But then the two of you put those parts together: combine the thrill and the sparkle with the messiness and the suffering. Your together love becomes something deeper and more enduring. You say: I see you fully but I choose you still, with all my heart and soul.
It becomes something that will withstand any storms that may come, something more mature and tested:
"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." —Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
