Good morning
- Woke up before my alarm and the first thing I did was think about you. Hope today's a good one.
- I don't know what today has planned for you, but I hope it knows you're loved before it starts.
- Just a normal good morning text, except I mean it more than usual today.
- Coffee's not as good without you across the table, but it'll do until tonight.
- Sending this before you're even properly awake so it's the first thing you see. Good morning.
- Still my favorite notification of the day: knowing you're thinking about me before you've even had coffee.
- Good morning to the person I'd pick again if I got to start over every single day.
- Whatever this morning looks like for you, I hope some part of it feels easy.
Goodnight
- Whatever today was, it's over now. Sleep well, I've got you tomorrow too.
- Goodnight. I'm grateful for you in a quiet, unremarkable, every-single-day kind of way.
- Hope your dreams are better than today was, and if today was good, hope they keep up.
- Last thing before I sleep: you're the best part of how this day went.
- Goodnight from someone who's already looking forward to tomorrow because of you.
- Whatever tomorrow needs from you, it can wait until morning. Sleep now.
- You made today better just by being in it. Goodnight.
- Last thought before I close my eyes: I'm glad I get to do this again tomorrow, with you.
Birthday
- Another year of you existing in the world, which is still the best thing that's ever happened to me.
- Happy birthday to the person who makes ordinary years feel worth having.
- I hope today reminds you of everything I already know about you — that you're worth celebrating, not just today.
- You don't need a new year to be loved like this, but I'm glad you get one anyway. Happy birthday.
- Here's to another year of you, and another year of us. Happy birthday.
Missing you
- Not going to make this dramatic — I just miss you and wanted you to know.
- Today had a you-shaped gap in it. Counting down until that's fixed.
- I keep almost texting you things and then remembering I can just tell you later. Still, miss you now.
- Distance doesn't change much except how often I think about you, which somehow goes up.
- No real reason for this text except that I miss you and figured you should know.
Just to say I love you
- No occasion. Just wanted to say it before the day got busy.
- Reminder that you're loved, on a completely ordinary Tuesday, for no reason except that it's true.
- I love you in the boring parts too — the errands, the bad traffic, all of it.
- Thought you should know you're still my favorite person, same as yesterday.
- Just felt like telling you I love you. That's the whole message.
After a fight
- Still upset, still love you. Those two things can be true at once.
- I don't have this fully figured out yet, but I know I don't want distance between us over it.
- Give me a little time, but don't read it as anything other than that — I'll be ready to talk soon.
- I'm sorry for the part of that I made worse. Let's actually fix it, not just move past it.
- Mad at the situation, not at us. We'll get through this part like we get through everything else.
