I found the receipt from that awful restaurant and it reminded me of how we laughed anyway.
I was fumbling with my keys and thought of how you always grab them for me.
02I want to make up for the last quiet week by asking for one coffee with you.
03I noticed the way you stacked the books and it made me miss having your clutter around.
04I saw the corner of your scarf in the laundry and wanted to fold it just to feel close.
05I missed your blunt honesty today; I needed it more than I realised.
06I’m thinking of the slow walk home we took and wanted to know if you’d do it again.
07I kept the tiny note you left on my laptop and reread it; I wanted to say thank you.
08I miss the small ritual of us comparing grocery lists and stealing items off each other's.
09I wanted to check if you still hum that song when you’re making dinner.
10I bought the same brand of tea you like and wished you were making it now.
11I remembered your weird ringtone and smiled like an idiot in the middle of a meeting.
12I want to tell you I noticed the extra effort you made last month and it mattered.
13I miss your hands when you tie your shoelaces—don’t ask why, I just do.
14I’m more impatient with everything else when I don’t hear from you.
15I kept your joke in my head all day and it made me want to text you back immediately.
16I miss the way you fold your socks and how specific you are about which drawer gets what.
17I want to apologise for snapping last week and mean it this time.
18I was halfway through our show and paused it because I wanted you to react to the next line.
19I miss asking you what you want for dinner and then making something we both complain about.
20I woke up thinking of the scratch on your phone and how you refused to fix it—small stubborn things remind me of you.
21I kept the napkin from our takeout and it made me want to tell you I’m glad you exist.
22I’d like to sit with you for ten minutes and do nothing but count the cars outside.
23I want to hear about the tiny thing that annoyed you today, if you have the energy.
24I remembered the way you argued about pineapple on pizza and laughed out loud.
25I noticed your pen in my bag and felt a little less alone.
26I kept your terrible playlist and listened to it; it made me want you beside me.
27I saw a blue mug today and it made me want to call you just to say hi.
28I was making toast and burnt it, then thought of how you always rescue breakfast—miss that.
29I walked past the corner bench where you fell asleep once and I wished you were there.
30I like you more than I did that morning we shared the cinnamon roll.
31I found the ticket stub from the film we left early from and wanted to ask if you want to go again.
32Your message about the stupid meeting made my day; I wanted to say thank you and that I missed you.
33I woke up and realized I hadn't sent you a stupid selfie in weeks and it felt wrong.
34I keep thinking about the shirt you wore when we danced in the kitchen.
35That tiny dent on your car from the grocery run—seeing it made me smile all day.
36I missed your laugh today and wanted to tell you before I forget.
37Remember the coffee cup you left on my desk that afternoon? I kept it and it still smells like you.
38I want to tell you plainly: I’ve been missing you.
39I miss the small, ordinary habit of you stealing my fries.
40I want more evenings where we end up on the sofa, tired and content, no plans needed.
