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.

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.

You sent a photo of your lunch and it made me hungry for you.
