To my best friend and other half,

You may only be a few hours from me, but there are days that distance feels more like a whole world away. But there are some things that I want you to know.

First, don't ever think that I have forgotten you. In fact, I hope you know that's it's the exact opposite. I talk about you constantly. I talk to people that don't even know who you are, and I tell them stories like "This one time..." and "You won't believe it but..." You come up in almost every conversation I have, no matter who I'm talking to. I hope you do the same about me. I am always wondering if you tell the same crazy stories that I do about our friendships to other people while you're at school too. Do you tell them about that one time we went to that one party? Or that one time that we laughed about that one girl? Because I do.

Please don't let your mind wander and assume that I've replaced you with new "college friends." Sure, I've made plenty of friends here. But none of them are you. None of them will ever be you. There isn't another person in the universe that could ever replace you. You're my one and only, and I don't want that thought to ever slip from your mind.

I know we don't talk all the time, but I wish we could. There will never be a time that I ignore you on purpose. If I could talk to you every second of every day I would. Unfortunately, college comes with work. A lot of work. I don't always have my phone, and I know that I should. So, for that, I am truly sorry. I constantly wish I had more time for our long conversations filled with gossip and stories about our other friends back home. I know you have the same problem, and you're just as busy as I am. I always catch myself thinking that life would be so much easier if I could just keep you in the closet of my dorm room, or if I could live on your bedroom floor at school. A girl can dream, right?

Lastly, please don't ever forget just how much I cherish you and our friendship. You truly are my one and only. Every cliche out there applies to our friendship. You're my best friend, you're my other half, you're the blond to my brunette, and you're the better part of me. You make me a better, more fun and outgoing person. If I didn't have you in my life, I'd be absolutely lost without you by my side. You helped me all throughout high school, and you're doing the same now that I'm in college.

I'm constantly wishing I could keep you in my dorm room forever without anyone asking too many questions.

Sincerely,

Your other half.
