To the mitten you lost last winter that I still keep in the drawer.
02To the plain wish: I want to make you coffee tomorrow morning.
03To the small bravery you show asking for help when you need it.
04To your text that says 'food?' at six — I always want the answer to be yes.
05To feeling proud when people see us and we still hold hands.
06To the cheap wristwatch you wear and won't replace; it suits you.
07To the sticky note you left on the fridge that made me laugh.
08To the plain truth: I miss you the second you leave the room.
09To your insistence on making playlists for road trips — I love them.
10To the comfort I feel when you bring an umbrella for both of us.
11To the small thrill when you call me by a nickname only you use.
12To the scar on your knuckle that I trace when we're quiet.
13To your voice reading receipts aloud in the car; it made me smile.
14To the way you check the locks twice and then still kiss me goodbye.
15To the single plant you keep alive on the windowsill; I notice.
16To the steady pull I feel toward you every time we plan a weekend.
17To your habit of leaving crumbs by the keys — small, known, ours.
18To the grocery list you texted me and how I saved it.
19To the way you fold laundry so precisely that it calms me.
20To the coffee mug with the cracked handle you refuse to toss.
21To your terrible karaoke of that one chorus — it made my night.
22To the small rush I get when your name lights up my screen.
23To the dent in your phone case that I keep meaning to fix.
24To your burnt toast this morning — I loved that you laughed about it.
25To the way I relax when you text 'on my way' and mean it.
26To your stubborn habit of leaving one sock on the radiator — I still notice.
27I feel proud telling my sister about the time you fixed the heater.
28I promise to answer the door at midnight when you come home from work.
29I like that you keep one pillow out of line; it means you relaxed here.
30I will carry your heavy bag up stairs without making it a thing.
31I feel a simple joy when your playlist starts and I know your mood.
32I want to be the one who packs your lunch when mornings are rushed.
33I notice your penmanship and the way you cross your t's; it feels familiar.
34I will stand in the parking lot and wait for you, no matter how late.
35I like that you reheat coffee twice and still drink it, stubborn and human.
36I will always read the last page of the book for you if you ask.
37I feel calmer when you schedule things, because you carry the dates for both of us.
38I want to learn to fix that squeaky door hinge you always ignore.
39I will bring you soup when you have a cold, even if I hate chopping onions.
40I notice the way you tighten your shoelaces and think about small rituals.
