Life happens and time passes. It’s easy to get caught up in the motion and forget to verbally remind those close to you (at the heart or physically close) how much they truly mean to you. When you have some downtime, grab a pen and notecard or open up your texts to send a message of love to a friend, family member, and/or significant other. After all, it’s the little things that keep love alive and nothing is more simple and heartwarming than words of affirmation.
If you don’t find yourself to be well with your words or fall into a writer block as you’re about to verbalize your thoughts, no stress. Here’s some inspiration for crafting together the perfect message.
A Message For Him

A simple text (or email. To each’s own):
- Smiling at nothing, thinking of you.
- I’m craving your energy right now.
- I still smile at your name lighting up my phone.
- You deserve all of the good that you give out and then some.
- I can’t wait to hear your voice when I get home
- Your hugs are so warm.
- Loving you a little extra today, I hope your day is going well.
- Replaying in my head the way your eyes lock into mine. I get butterflies every time.
- I miss you. Counting down the days until I can feel your touch again.
A Message For Her

A simple text (and yes, email still applies):
- If only you could see yourself through my eyes. You’d understand why I wouldn’t dare not to love you.
- You’re who I look for the moment I walk into a room.
- Your smile is all I need some days.
- I woke up smiling this morning because of you.
- Just writing to remind you that I love you.
- Your love is what drives me to be better.
- Meet me ______ after work. Let’s spend real time together.
- I want to get to know you more.
- I don’t ever want to stop getting to know who you are.
For THAT Friend

Type them a little something like:
- I hope life is being kind to you lately.
- How’s your day? Should meet up for food and drinks after work to catch up?
- Just saying hello. Enjoy your day!
- *venmo them a little ($5-$10max) something for a coffee or tea*
- Our song just came on in the store I’m at. Miss you!
- Thinking of you always. Let’s get on the phone and talk soon.
- Just a reminder that I’m eternally grateful for you and our friendship.
- I know that we don’t talk or see each other all of the time but that doesn’t make us any less of best friends. I love you.

Send them something cute like:
- Goodmorning <3 Have a lovely day!
- Can I pick up anything for you while I’m out?
- Hungry? Let’s have dinner tonight.
- I’m so proud of you for how hard you’ve been working this past month.
- Thanks for always being there for me when I need you.
- Everything that you do for me doesn’t ever go unnoticed. I truly appreciate it all.
- I came across this show that I think you would love!
- Let’s plan a weekend away soon with the whole family.
- How are you doing? Truly.
