May everyone around you today be just slightly less in love with you than I am β€” they don't stand a chance.

Happy birthday across the time zones β€” I'll be the one celebrating you while half your continent sleeps.

I built the day around your time today; my watch is on yours and so is everything else.

Years apart in geography, zero years apart in choosing. Happy birthday, my favorite coordinate.

Today the cake is yours, the wish is yours, but the year ahead has both our names on it.

Happy birthday β€” count the candles, then count the months until we close this distance for good.

Happy birthday, sweetheart. The screen between us is thin; the bond it carries isn't.

Happy anniversary β€” another year of choosing you on purpose, even on the days that didn't make it easy.

We've made a small and stubborn world together, and I'd rebuild it from scratch if we ever had to.

Twelve months of inside jokes, three real arguments, one good lesson per quarter β€” solid year, love.

Happy anniversary to the woman who turned my routines into rituals and my plans into ours.

I noticed everything you did this year, even the things you didn't say. Especially those.

Another lap around the calendar with you in the passenger seat β€” also occasionally driving β€” and I'm still glad I let you in.

Happy anniversary β€” we got better at the boring parts, which is how I know we're built for the long parts.

Year after year you become more specifically yourself, and I keep getting luckier by association.

I'd write you a long speech, but you'd just edit it β€” so here's the short version: I'd choose you again, today.

Happy anniversary, love. We're a small country with our own laws and I have no intention of emigrating.

The years are starting to stack like good books on a shelf β€” none of them I'd return.
