We all have one - your ride or die, sister from another mister/brother from another mother, other half...your best friend. Hell, I'm lucky enough to have two. I knew when I decided to go to a college 450 miles away from home, I would be sad without them, but I never knew it would feel like this. It truly feels like a part of me is missing without them. Even though I talk to them everyday, I still feel like I have more to tell them - so here are my messages for them:
1. No one understands me like you do.
I know, it sounds so cliche, but no one understands how I work like you. You could always tell how I was feeling by just one facial expression or just the way I would say a word. We'd always joke we had a telepathic connection. You could tell when I was sad, happy, in love, angry, disappointed...and I took that for granted. It's hard for me to take a step back and realize that my new friends just don't know me like that yet, and I can't get frustrated.
2. Even though I'm not physically there - I'm here for you.
I'm sorry I can't come bring you Ben & Jerry's when you're sad anymore, but I'm always here for you. I'm a call away, and we can still sit on the phone and talk or laugh or cry for hours. I still want to know how your day was, how you are, and most importantly, if there are any cute boys in your class. Just know I wish I was there physically every time you are upset, but I'll do the best I can from this far away. Hey, maybe I can get Ben & Jerry's shipped to you.
3. I still use our inside jokes.
I'm sure my friends here are sick of my saying something and then crackling up hysterically. Even though none of them laugh with me, our memories together are so funny I could just sit and laugh forever about them. And then of course, when something really funny happens that reminds me of you, I have to call/text you right away.
4. I truly hope you make great friends.
You deserve to have a group of good people surrounding you, and I hope you find them. I will be jealous and it'll make me miss you even more, but hey, that's just friendship. I know at the end of the day, no one will replace me, and vice versa. And of course, I'll be here for you every time they do something to make you mad or sad.
5. You're the first person I want to talk to when ANYTHING happens.
And I mean anything - my teacher was being mean, a cute guy talked to me, a girl gave me a funny look...I immediately send you a text or a snap chat of me rolling my eyes about whatever is going on.
6. I miss and love you like crazy.
As you already know (because I tell you everyday), I love you for life and I can't wait to see you again. But I know we'll just pick up where we left on, take a long drive to no where and jam our hearts out.
I'll start counting down the days, and you'll be sure to get a reminder every morning.
