Thinking of you messages

A thinking of you message is the simplest love note there is: no occasion, no reason, just proof they crossed your mind. These 23 range from three-word texts to notes for when your partner is going through something hard.

Short thinking of you texts

No reason needed.

  1. Thinking of you. That's all.

  2. You popped into my head and now I'm smiling at my desk.

  3. Just a little hello from me to you.

  4. Hope your day's going well. You're on my mind.

  5. Thought of you and wanted you to know.

  6. Sending you a hug through the phone.

  7. Can't concentrate. Your fault.

Specific thinking of you messages

Tell them what made you think of them.

  1. Heard our song in the supermarket and nearly danced in the cereal aisle.

  2. Someone at work said 'apparently' the way you do and I missed you instantly.

  3. Walked past that bakery you love. Bought you a cinnamon bun. It's in my stomach now, sorry.

  4. Saw a sunset that looked like the one from our holiday. Thinking of you.

  5. Found one of your hair ties in my pocket. I'm keeping it.

  6. The weather's awful and all I want is to be on the sofa with you.

Thinking of you when they're going through something

For illness, grief, stress or a bad patch.

  1. No need to reply. I just want you to know I'm thinking of you today.

  2. I can't fix this, but I can sit with you in it. I'm here.

  3. Thinking of you and sending all the strength I've got.

  4. Whatever you need, whenever you need it. Just say.

  5. One day at a time. I'm right beside you for every one of them.

Just because messages

Love notes with no occasion at all.

  1. No reason. Just love you.

  2. Random reminder that you're my favourite.

  3. It's an ordinary Wednesday and I'm still really glad you exist.

  4. This isn't for anything. You just deserve a nice message.

  5. Today's a good day to tell you I like you a lot.

Why thinking of you messages work

They work because they're unprompted. Birthday and anniversary messages are expected; a 'thinking of you' on a random afternoon tells your partner they're on your mind when nothing reminded you.

When someone is going through a hard time, end the message with 'no need to reply'. It gives comfort without adding one more thing to their list.

If you'd rather it didn't arrive the second you hit send, Lovebeam lets you seal a note as a surprise. It lands sometime inside the hours your partner picked, and the notification only says a note is waiting, never what it says.

Questions

Common questions

What do you say in a thinking of you message?

Say what made you think of them, if anything did, and that you hope their day is going well. 'Saw a dog that looked like yours and thought of you' is a perfect thinking of you message.

Is it okay to send a thinking of you message for no reason?

Yes, that's what makes them special. With no birthday or anniversary behind it, the only reason for the message is that you thought of them, and they'll know it.
