Dear Best Friend,
I miss you more than you know. After having spent every school day with you since Kindergarten, it has been a true struggle to adjust. I miss not seeing you every day, telling you all the irrelevant events that take place in my life, ranting to you, and then listening to everything you have to tell me in return. You have no idea how much I miss our pointless conversations, like the ones about that funny baby video that was on Facebook, or something else completely random. Our conversations were the best. I try to tell people jokes that I know you would get, and they just stare at me like I am crazy.
My favorite conversations were the ones that happened during lunch. We have so many inside jokes that I am pretty sure we hold a world record. Lunch just is not the same without you. I either have to gobble it down and talk to my friends for twenty minutes or I eat on the go. I miss being able to sit down with you and not be stressed about a test, homework, or athletics. Those lunches were a highlight of high school that I wish we could have again.
It is a bummer that I cannot come to you for immediate advice like I did back in high school. There are so many times when I wish you were here to tell me what I do not want to hear: the truth. That is something only a best friend can do, and there is nobody on this earth that could tell me the brutally honest truth like you can. Plus, I could always use your advice when I cannot decide what outfit to wear or which shoes look the best. My boyfriend is as helpful as he can be, but sometimes, I just need a girl's opinion.
Almost more than anything, I miss our insane study sessions. It is ridiculous how many random facts I remember because of our ignorant ways of studying. From saying names in a deep voice to not pronouncing words in the correct way, I could use those study techniques every day. Again, I have tried to have friends study with me like the way we used to, but they think I am crazy for trying to study in such nonsense ways. They tell me that I need to focus, but you understood how easy it is to remember certain things by fantastical means. I still remember most facts about Andrew Jackson and Alexander Hamilton thanks to you and that great American history course.
My biggest sorrow is just not having your presence every day. I know we do not communicate like we used to in high school, but I always know that you are going to be there for me whenever I need you. You know I would take your call at four o'clock in the morning. I love the fact that no matter how much or how little we talk to each other, we both know that the bond that we have developed can never be broken. We are sisters, and we sealed the deal when we were waiting to welcome your niece into this world. The nurse called me one of your sisters, and I will cherish that moment until the day I die, because we are indeed sisters. I love you, my dearest friend, and I miss you so much.
Love always,
Your Best Friend
