Tell me one thing that annoyed you today and I'll listen properly.

I keep replaying the way you fixed the radiator without asking for help.

I smiled when I saw your handwriting on the receipt in my coat pocket.

If you're still at your desk at five, I'll bring your favourite sandwich.

I love how you corrected my terrible directions without making me feel dumb.

Your dry comment in the meeting made me laugh out loud at my desk.

I kept your socks on the radiator like a ridiculous trophy this morning.

I love that you answered my rant without trying to fix it.

When your laptop pinged at lunch, my heart did a stupid little jump.

I keep checking the spot on the sofa where you always sit.

Seeing your text about the delayed train made me want to bring you soup.

I owe you a nap this evening — you looked exhausted this morning.

I miss your hands more than I thought I would when I'm opening jars.

This afternoon's coffee tasted better because I imagined you across the table.

I'm still holding on to the note you left me by the keys.

Reading your last message again made the rest of my day easier.

I'm thinking of your phone buzzing in your pocket and hoping it's mine when it does.

I remembered the exact spot you put your keys and left them where you'd find them later.

I found the playlist you made for me and it made the walk home shorter.

I want to argue with you about nothing tonight.

Knowing you chose the blue shirt this morning makes me picture you and it feels good.

I saved the little sticky note where you wrote 'buy milk' and it sits on my fridge now.

Your honest, short reply this morning was exactly what I needed.

My hand reached for the phone to text you and froze because I wanted to see what you'd done today first.

I kept your spare umbrella in my bag and thought of you when it drizzled this afternoon.

I want to be the person who brings you the bagel you forgot at the office.

I found the silly photo you hid in my phone and it made a dull afternoon better.

Your message about the lost keys made me search under the couch even though I knew you probably checked there.

If you need a break later, I can come by with that iced tea you like.

I noticed you left a pen in my jacket and it made me grin for no reason.

I noticed the dent on your mug and felt oddly glad it exists because it means you used it.

You falling asleep on the couch with the TV on this morning is the image I keep replaying.

I kept meaning to call at lunch and forgot, and now I just want to hear your voice before the day gets away.

Your message at noon made my skin remember places only you know.

Your scent on the coat I borrowed has been tormenting me between calls.

I want to trace the line where your shirt ends and your skin begins.

Your shoelace coming undone this morning is the thing I can’t stop picturing.

I want the quiet of you undressing a problem from me with a look.

That little freckle by your collarbone has my attention more than it should.

Your laugh in the hallway at lunch rerouted my afternoon plans to you.
