You told me you were proud of me and I kept saying it back.

I remember the exact spot on the couch where you fell asleep.

You left the light on in the hallway and I didn’t mind.

You keep the spare key under the same plant pot; I do too.

I notice the small pauses in your voice and wait for them.

You texted a photo of your messy desk and I loved it.

You fold your socks the same odd way and it makes me smile.

You call my name when you need help and I come.

I love being the person you send the dumb memes to.

You hummed while you fixed the shelf and I watched.

I want to hear about your small victories first.

You shared your fries and I counted that as a promise.

I like that you show up even when plans change.

You check the stove twice and I trust that habit.

You texted a thumbs-up and it fixed my day.

I feel steadier knowing you’ll pick up when I’m frantic.

You take my jacket without asking and I let you.

You taught me a playlist and I play it on purpose.

I like how you argue only about the dumb stuff.

I appreciate that you admit when you’re tired.

You make the bad commute shorter by calling me.

You brought an umbrella even though it wasn’t raining.

I am calmer when you say my name slowly.

When you show up with coffee, the day shifts.

I trust you with my bad hair days.

Your laugh in the kitchen is my favorite background noise.

You ask if I’m warm and I always am.

I miss you in the quiet minutes between calls.

Holding the grocery list with your handwriting felt oddly comforting.

You snore and I still reach for your hand.

That crooked mug you keep using is ours now.

You make my mornings less messy.

Seeing your text at 3 a.m. steadies me.

I like how you always check the windows before bed.

You showed up with fries when I said I was starving and it mattered.

I love the small comfort of your hand on my shoulder in crowds.

You send me voice notes and they’re the best part of my workday.

Please text me when you get home tonight so I stop worrying.

You put your headphones on and hummed the chorus—made me grin.

I like that you keep my secrets even when no one’s watching.
