I’ll be awake for your late call if you need to swear about the commute.

I want the small victory from your day, even if it’s only finishing one email.

I left the spare keys where you always check because you’ll be back late.

I saved the funny meme you sent for when I needed it later.

I’ll put on the kettle as soon as you unlock the door.

Tell me exactly how annoyed you are and I’ll bring the bad tv show.

I grabbed your grocery list from the desk and added milk because you always forget it.

I like hearing your tired laugh over my voice notes when you get home.

I left a note on the fridge that says ‘coffee by the sink’ because you’ll look.

I’ll wait for your video of the commuter chaos; your commentary is the best part.

I noticed your scuffed shoes and left the shoe polish out for you.

I warmed up the takeout you forgot in my fridge; eat it while it’s still decent.

Tell me about the person who interrupted your call, I want to hear the details.

I keep a spare hoodie here because I know you’ll drop by after late shifts.

I put the charger by your seat so you won’t hunt for it in the dark.

You can rant to me about the spreadsheet and I will not judge the swear words.

I brewed a second cup because I figured you’d be here to drink it later.

Your work badge is on my counter; I’ll leave it by the door for you.

Seeing your message at 6:02 made the dark bus ride feel shorter.

I put your umbrella by the door because the forecast said rain and you always forget it.

I appreciate you letting me eat the fries while you were distracted.

I stayed up an extra ten minutes waiting for your ‘I’m home’ text.

I want you to drop by with that tired grin and sit on my kitchen floor.

I folded the shirt you left on my chair; it’s ready on the couch.

Tell me the dumb office story before you shower, I need it.

Your jacket smells like coffee; I like that it smells like you.

You make the commute bearable for me just by saying ‘hi’ when you get home.

I’m making the playlist you always skip so we can laugh at it together.

I want to hear the small rant about the meeting when you’re off the elevator.

You left your blue pen on my desk; I put it in your bag.

My feet are up and I'm smiling because you texted the stupid joke earlier.

I like that you answer my texts even when you’re elbow-deep in files.

Still in your work jacket? I kept your travel mug on the counter.

I kept your jacket because you left it and I’d rather drop it off than forget to mention it.

I want to tell you something silly about my drawer of receipts when you have a minute.

I held onto the ticket stub you dropped; it’s on my desk now.

Your quick ‘good luck’ text at four kept me steady for the rest of the day.

I grabbed an extra coffee because I thought you might need one on the way home.

I keep replaying the way you corrected me gently in the meeting — thank you.

I kept the napkin you scribbled on; small things like that mean a lot to me.
