I love that you call me out on my bad spelling in texts.

You told me the blunt truth about my haircut and I needed it.

I miss your voice giving me directions when I've taken the wrong turn.

You fold your sweaters the same messy way and it makes me laugh.

I saved the ticket stub from the concert we nearly missed together.

I like how you keep your plants alive and give me tips.

You cheer the loudest at my terrible recitals and I need that.

You once spent your lunch break bringing me paperwork I had left at home.

I feel calmer telling you plans because you ask the sensible questions.

You rescued my cat from the balcony and I still owe you.

I appreciate you checking my apartment when the downstairs lock clicked weird.

You sent me a playlist for a breakup and it helped me sleep.

I notice the little notes you leave on the fridge and they matter.

I want to bring you soup when you're sick, even if you protest.

You once stayed up sewing a button on my coat and I still have that coat.

I trust you to tell me when I'm being stubborn and I need that.

I miss the spice you put in that curry only you can get right.

You came to my presentation and I kept thinking about your nods.

I want to sit with you on the steps and do nothing for an hour.

You once fixed my bike chain in the rain and I haven't forgotten.

I feel calmer when you send a dumb GIF at 2 a.m.

You held my hand in the ER and I keep thinking about that.

I miss your terrible playlist and the way you laugh at the ads on long drives.

I picture us still sending each other one-line check-ins that mean everything.

I want simple future mornings where you steal my cereal and I pretend to mind.

I'll keep offering to help paint rooms even when our arms are sore.

I want to know we'll still meet weekly for bad takeout and better company.

I want to be the person who remembers your birthday before Facebook does.

I want a future where your plant collection takes over my kitchen counters.

Promise to nudge me when I'm buried in work and forget to eat.

I see us still sharing playlists and swapping books on quiet afternoons.

I'll make sure there's always an extra toothbrush in my bag for you.

I want to be the one you call first when you find a ridiculous hat.

Can we agree to clear snow from each other's cars when winter hits?

I misspoke: I don't just hope we'll stay close, I trust we will.

I want to keep a jar for movie ticket stubs from films we saw together.

I want a future that includes your terrible puns at every holiday dinner.

I will cheer the loudest when you get the promotion you deserve.

Let's promise to learn basic plumbing together so rental floods don't win.

I like thinking of us checking in with honest texts, not long speeches.
