The end of the day is often the hardest part of a long-distance relationship. When the distractions of work and school fade away, the physical absence of your partner becomes much more apparent.

However, a thoughtful goodnight message can bridge that gap and ensure that you are the last thing on their mind before they drift off to sleep. Whether you want to send something short and sweet, deeply romantic, or reassuring, this extensive list of goodnight texts will help your partner feel loved, safe, and deeply connected to you across the miles.
