I missed your blunt honesty today; I needed it more than I realised.

I wanted to check if you still hum that song when you’re making dinner.

I’m more impatient with everything else when I don’t hear from you.

I want to apologise for snapping last week and mean it this time.

I remembered the way you argued about pineapple on pizza and laughed out loud.

I noticed your pen in my bag and felt a little less alone.

I like you more than I did that morning we shared the cinnamon roll.

I keep thinking about the shirt you wore when we danced in the kitchen.

I missed your laugh today and wanted to tell you before I forget.

I felt calmer after you explained the meeting to me; your voice grounds me.

I appreciate that you held the elevator for me even though you were late.

You brushing the crumbs off my jacket showed me you notice small things.

I like that you remember to charge my headphones in your bag.

When you read my message and replied with one word, I still smiled.

I caught you stealing fries and pretended not to see because it was adorable.

I’m grateful you checked on my ankle after that stupid run; it mattered.

Sitting on the curb with you while we ate cold fries felt exactly right.

You sending one sentance texts when you’re busy is enough to keep me steady.

I still carry the napkin you doodled on; it’s my favorite scrap of you.

You folding the laundry without being asked felt like an apology and a promise.

I appreciate that you noticed my new sneakers and pretended not to care.

I liked how you warmed my hands between your palms on the balcony.

I still remember how you tied the ribbon on that book I gave you.

Seeing your mug in the sink this morning made me smile before coffee.

When you fell asleep with your headphones on I felt quietly content.

You make staying in feel better than any plan I had for the weekend.

After tonight’s silly argument, I like how we laughed and finished the pizza together.

You showed up with two umbrellas and the rain didn’t ruin anything.

You handed me your headphones and I listened to the song you love.

I want to be the one you call when something goes wrong.

You folded my scarf the way I always forget to; thank you.

You fixed the light in the hallway and I noticed the steady brightness.

You answered my call in the middle of your shift and it mattered.

I kept your receipt from the bakery because you chose the croissant for me.

I’m glad you told me the truth even though it was hard.

You left your umbrella by the door and I didn’t have to borrow one.

I miss the way you trace the rim of your glass when thinking.

You cried during that film and I wanted to hold you then.

I still smile at the stain on your left shirt pocket from paint.

I notice when you skip dessert to save room for my slice.
