Do you believe you can truly love someone if you wouldn’t die for them?

I see all the time people describing people they love or are in love with as “I would die for them” and this phrase seems to come across as a statement of true, passionate love. I feel confident that I love people close to me, but I don’t think I would die for any of them if it came down to it. Does this mean I don’t truly love?
