I’m thinking about your tired smile and hoping this day treats you gently.

I refilled the sugar jar since you always say it’s the little things.

I texted you because I’m grateful you’re just you, messy hair and all.

I noticed you rehearse your presentation and wanted to say you’ll do fine.

I found the matching sock under the bed and put it in your drawer.

I like waking up and finding your toothbrush already in its cup.

I’m keeping your spot on the couch warm until you collapse into it tonight.

I admire how you get up and go, even on mornings that look impossible.

I remembered to buy your favourite cereal because you mentioned it in passing.

I’ll handle the calls tonight; you can unwind without thinking about them.

I love that you answer emails with short sentences and still sound kind.

I’m proud of the hours you put in today—don’t forget to breathe.

I’ll text you a stupid joke at noon to interrupt your serious meetings.

I woke early and made the toast you like, it’s cooling on the counter.

Take the umbrella even if it’s bright, I prefer you dry than stubborn.

I packed an extra sandwich in your bag since you skipped breakfast yesterday.

I kept the slow playlist on because your playlist helps me think of you.

Your blue travel mug is on the counter; I reheated it for you.

I’m glad you’re the person I can tell the pre-work chaos to.

I kept the light low in the hall so you wouldn’t wake the cat when you left.

I’ll pick up your dry cleaning on my way home so you don’t need to rush.

I left the window open a crack because you prefer the room fresh in the morning.

I’m thinking of your laugh when you miss the bus and call it an adventure.

I set a slow brew for you because hurried coffee is not the same for you.

I noticed the crease in your shirt sleeve this morning and smoothed it for you.

Your pen rolled off the desk again and I put it back where you leave it.

I took your bike pump out to the shed so you don’t have to hunt for it later.

I’m sending a quick hug through this message because I can’t deliver one right now.

I noticed you stayed up fixing that report and wanted to say thank you for trying.

I like that you pack your lunch with more care than you pack your own schedule.

Your keys are on the hook where you always toss them; I smiled when I saw them.

I left a Post-it on the fridge with the time for your dentist appointment.

The plant by the door is watered and looking better, like your late-night care.

I’m thinking of the way your phone buzzes and how you always check it with a grin.

I noticed the tiny tear on your tote and ran a stitch before you left.

I hope your meeting goes okay, I’ll keep the kettle on for when you get back.

You left your coffee mug by the sink again and I smiled thinking of you.

Tell me your safe word and I’ll suggest we don’t use it until dinner.

If you bring the movie, I’ll bring the pillow that smothers polite movie-watching.

I’m plotting a small domestic crime: stealing your free hour after work.
