Two messages carry more weight than any other all day: the last one before someone falls asleep and the first one when they wake up. Both land in a soft, undistracted moment, which is why a well-placed goodnight or good morning sext makes you the bookend of a person's entire day. Below, both ends, running from sweet to steamy. Pick the temperature that fits where the two of you are.
Goodnight, sweet
Warm, a little suggestive, safe for a newer spark. The kind of message they reread once before the light goes off.
- "Going to sleep now, but you are the last thing on my mind, same as every night this week. I am not complaining. Sweet dreams, trouble."
- "If I could reach through this phone I would pull you in and not let go until morning. Since I cannot, this will have to do. Goodnight, and dream about me."
- "Told myself I would sleep an hour ago and instead I stayed up talking to you. Best bad decision I have made all week. Night."
Goodnight, steamy
Send them off with something that guarantees you are on their mind in the dark. Save these for when the mood between you already runs hot.
- "Going to bed thinking about all the things I would rather be doing to you than sleeping. Close your eyes and imagine every one of them. I will finish the thought tomorrow."
- "If you were in this bed right now neither of us would be getting any rest, and I would call that a fair trade. Dream about what you are missing. Goodnight."
- "Last thing before I sleep: I want you to lie there and picture exactly where my hands would be if I were next to you. Take your time with it. Sweet dreams."
Good morning, sweet
The first message they see. Make it the reason they smile at their phone before they are even fully awake.
- "Good morning to the person I fell asleep thinking about and woke up still thinking about. You are inconvenient like that. I would not change it."
- "First thought of the day was you, before coffee, before anything. Consider this your morning warning that I am going to be thinking about you all day."
Good morning, steamy
Morning is when a lot of people are most in the mood and least likely to say so. A steamy first text catches them exactly there.
- "Woke up wanting you and there is nothing I can do about it until tonight, so now you get to feel the same way all day. You are welcome. Good morning."
- "Bad news: I woke up thinking about the things you said to me last night and now my whole morning is ruined in the best way. Come make it worse."
Make it a habit worth waiting for
The trick with bookend texts is consistency without predictability. Be the reliable last-and-first message, but keep them guessing which temperature it will be. For the messages in between, our sexting paragraphs and flirty texts cover the rest of the day, and long-distance sexting is where these bookends matter most.
Someone worth sending a goodnight to is a conversation away. Free, anonymous, no sign-up.
