I hope you’re happy. This is probably random. I was at the diner when it crossed my mind, and the timing felt weirdly specific. It hit me after work, which somehow made the whole thought feel more random. Whatever happened between us, I don’t want your life to be smaller because of me. I just wanted to say it once.

Hey stranger. I didn’t expect to say that today. Spotify showed me something that pulled the memory forward before I was ready. I had been thinking about something completely unrelated, then suddenly there you were in my head. No hidden agenda. I’m just wondering how life’s been treating you. It stayed in my head longer than I expected.

I still love you. This is probably random. It hit me this morning, which somehow made the whole thought feel more random. I didn’t expect my reaction to be that immediate. I’m not asking you to do anything with that. I just needed to be honest. That’s really all. I just wanted to say it once and leave it there.

Happy birthday. I saw tacos and immediately connected it to one of our stupid old routines. I found an old sunglasses right before that, which probably didn’t help. No hidden meaning. I just genuinely hope this next year is good to you. I just wanted to say it once. The timing made it feel even stranger.

I’m confused by what we’re doing. It was such a small thing that I felt ridiculous for noticing it. I found an old phone cable right before that, which probably didn’t help. If you want something from me, say it clearly. Otherwise I need space. Anyway, I hope you’re okay. I laughed at myself afterward.

Honestly, I heard you’re getting married. It was such a small thing that I felt ridiculous for noticing it. I almost ignored it, then kept circling back to it anyway. I’m not trying to complicate anything. I genuinely hope your marriage is peaceful. You don’t have to answer. I didn’t know what to do with that for a minute.

I am a little drunk, so tomorrow me might hate this. It was such a small thing that I felt ridiculous for noticing it. I didn’t expect my reaction to be that immediate. I’m not asking you to fix anything. Alcohol just made honesty louder. That’s really all. I didn’t know what to do with that for a minute.

There’s one thing I still wonder about. I almost ignored it, then kept circling back to it anyway. Did you know you wanted out before that last month started? You can be honest. I’d rather know than keep filling in the blanks. No pressure to respond. It stayed in my head longer than I expected.

You look happy. I’m keeping this simple. It was such a small thing that I felt ridiculous for noticing it. I saw a recent picture and expected it to hurt more than it did. I’m glad you seem okay, even if I’m not part of that life anymore. That’s really all. The timing made it feel even stranger.

I hope you’re doing okay. This is probably random. I had been thinking about something completely unrelated, then suddenly there you were in my head. I found an old phone cable right before that, which probably didn’t help. You don’t owe me an update. I just hope you’re taking care of yourself. You don’t have to answer.
