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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I appreciate that you admit when you’re tired.

You make the bad commute shorter by calling me.

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 brought an umbrella even though it wasn’t raining.

I am calmer when you say my name slowly.

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

When you show up with coffee, the day shifts.

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

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.

You left your blue hoodie on my chair and it smells like you, I kept it.

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.

I enjoy how you correct my grammar and then tease me.

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

I kept the train ticket from our surprise day trip.

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