Welcome Home Texts for Him After a Trip

The door is unlocked and I boiled the kettle early because I know you hate the whistle. Come in and let the quiet wrap around you.

I've got the fire going and the blanket you always steal is on the couch. I promise not to fight you for it tonight.

Your favorite mug is out, and I steeped the chamomile for exactly four minutes, just the way you showed me. No rush—just come home.

I left the porch light on since you left, hoping you'd see it from the street. The house has been waiting for you.

The pillows are fluffed, the TV is off, and I'm here. That's all that matters.

I put fresh sheets on the bed and your slippers by the door because I know your feet ache after long flights. Welcome back to your sanctuary.

The rain sounds like that night in the cabin. I made hot chocolate with extra marshmallows, just like you like. Come inside.

I'm sitting in your spot on the couch because it still smells like your cedar soap. Hurry home so I can have the real thing.

I heard your keys in the door and my shoulders finally dropped. I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath.

The door just clicked shut and I already have a bet with myself how fast you'll drop your bags to grab me. 😏

So... did you miss me or did you miss my cooking? Be honest, I can take it.

Welcome home! I left a trail of your favorite snacks from the door to the bedroom. Follow it if you dare.

I was going to clean the house but then I thought, nah, let's make a mess together first.

You're back! Quick, tell me the most ridiculous thing that happened on your trip before I kiss it out of you.

I saved all my best jokes for your return. Prepare to be unimpressed but also hugged.

The couch has been lonely without your butt print. Please fix that immediately.

I promise I didn't reorganize your sock drawer while you were gone. Okay, maybe a little. You're welcome.

Welcome home! I'm currently wearing your favorite shirt and nothing else. The rest is up to you.

The house felt so quiet without your footsteps. I kept turning to tell you something, then remembering you weren't there. Now you're back, and I can finally finish my sentences.

I unpacked your bag while you were in the shower. Just wanted to feel close to you again. Your shirt still smells like the hotel soap.

I made your favorite dinner, but I burned the garlic bread because I was too busy staring at the door waiting for you.

The first thing I did when you walked in was hug you so tight I think I cracked your back. I don't care. I needed that.

I slept better last night knowing you were in the next room. Even your snoring sounded like music.

I kept your coffee mug on the counter all week, just so it felt like you were still here. Now I can finally wash it and hand it back to you.

When you texted me the plane landed, I started counting the minutes until you'd be home. I think I checked the door 20 times.

I love the way you drop your bags at the door and immediately look for me. I was right here, waiting.

Just saw your flight landed. I've got your slippers by the door and the coffee ready. Drive safe.

Welcome back! The door's unlocked and I'm in the kitchen, making that pasta you love.

Hey, you're home! I saved you a slice of pizza from last night.

Text me when you're on the highway. I'll have the porch light on and the dog waiting by the window.

Glad you're back. I left your favorite hoodie on the chair—the one you wore the night we stargazed.

You made it! The kettle's hot if you want that chamomile you always drink after flying.

Home yet? I'm pretending to read but really just waiting for your key in the lock.

Welcome home. No need to rush, I'll be right here, probably still in my pajamas because I couldn't sleep.

I just counted down the hours on my fingers. You're 3 hours away, and I'm already planning where my arms will go when you walk in.

The door is unlocked, the kettle is on, and I'm pacing by the window. Hurry home, I've got a hug with your name on it.

I keep refreshing the flight tracker like it's a game. Spoiler: I always win when you land.

Your arrival time is the only number I've memorized today. Everything else can wait.

I'm already smiling at the sound of your keys in the lock. Get here so I can prove it.

The couch is warm, the playlist is ready, and I'm saving the last episode for us. Your move.

I've got a timer set for when you're supposed to walk through that door. It's been going off in my head all day.

I just realized I've been staring at the door for the past five minutes. You're not here yet, but my heart thinks you are.

The couch is doing its best impression of you—lumpy and slightly tilted. It's not working. Hurry home.

I tried to recreate your famous sandwich but ended up with a mess that looks like the time we tried to build IKEA furniture. You're the only one who can fix this.

The cat keeps staring at your empty spot like she's judging you for leaving. I told her you were chasing adventure, but she's not impressed.

Remember that time you got lost for two hours and ended up at a goat farm? I'm expecting a similar story when you walk through that door.

I found your lucky sock under the bed. It's been holding down the fort. We're both ready for your return.

The Wi-Fi has been acting up, and I'm convinced it's because you're not here to negotiate with it. Please come fix this.

I attempted to watch our show without you, but I kept pausing to imagine your commentary. It's just not the same without your terrible predictions.

Your side of the bed is still warm from your absence. That's not how thermodynamics works, but it feels true.
