I’ll drive past your office and honk twice so you know I’m outside.

I’m on your side in this bad hour, no debate.

I’ll water your plant tonight and not say anything about the dead leaves.

I’ll stand by the sink while you breathe through it.

I noticed you didn’t laugh at the show; that’s enough for tonight.

You can put the phone down and let me worry about dinner.

I’ll reheat the soup you forgot in the fridge and we’ll eat slow.

I saw your shoelace snapped this morning—brought a spare pair in the car.

You don’t have to explain every detail; just tell me the worst part.

I’ll make the tea you like, even if your hands are shaking.

I’ll take the trash and give you ten minutes with no questions.

You can go quiet; I’ll be here reading or not, whatever you need.

I remembered the joke about your cat and it made me smile for you.

I’m sorry today ate your patience; I’ll bring extra patience home.

I’ll fold the shirt you spilled on and we’ll order something simple.

Say one word about today and I’ll listen without fixing it.

I put your headphones on charge so you can listen without fuss later.

You can cry in my car; I’ll pull over and wait.

I feel helpless about how hard today was for you and I’m here anyway.

I hate that your inbox piled up; I’ll clear two emails while you rest.

You can say ‘I’m done for today’ and I’ll accept it without comment.

I noticed your plant’s leaves are brown; I’ll grab a new pot tomorrow.

I’ll bring the extra blanket and the towel you always forget.

You don’t have to put on a brave face for me.

I’m thinking of you on the subway and hoping the headache eases.

I’ll warm the frozen peas you saved and not ask questions.

You’re allowed to be tired and short with me tonight.

I’m thinking of your tired face after today; come here and rest against me.

The subway delay was ridiculous; if you’re still out I’ll come get you.

The copier ate your pages; I’ll reprint and bring chocolate.

You’re allowed to be cross with today, I’ll be mildly annoying until you smile.

Your scarf got stuck in the door; I’ll bring scissors and a foot massage.

You sounded disappointed; that matters and I’m here to help unpack it.

Your glasses fogged in the rain; I’ll meet you under the awning with mine.

The elevator stuck you felt trapped, come to mine and get real air.

You sounded frustrated just now; I’m sitting here paying attention.

I wish I could unsend parts of your day; until then I’ll listen.

The leftover soup spilled, I’ll bring a towel and a ridiculous movie.

You look exhausted in your selfie; come over and nap on my couch.

Your tote strap snapped, I’ll bring a spare bag and my terrible jokes.
