Dear my long distance best friend,

You moved across the country almost five years ago, yet our friendship has still remained intact. We've had our fair share of ups and downs like any friendship does. We laugh, we cry, we fight... we just do it from miles apart.

Distance usually causes people to drift apart and I would be lying if I said we were the exception. Life gets crazy. We both have jobs, school to worry about, family to care for, and other friends to hang out with. There are times when we go months without talking. That doesn't mean that we don't still care about each other or that our friendship is now meaningless, it just means that life is crazy. I hope you know that no matter how long we go without talking, I'll always refer to you as my best friend. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about you or worry about how're doing.

Over the last five years, I have met a lot of people and I have made a lot of great friends, but none of those people could ever replace you. Sure, I tell them secrets. I do silly things with them, like having movie nights until five in the morning or going on last minute road trips. But the new memories I make with them will never measure up to old memories I made with you. Besides, it is not like I don't ever see you. Whenever you come visit me or I visit you, we make even more memories that will last a lifetime.

The distance between us means nothing. The quote "distance means nothing when someone means so much" truly describes our relationship. We don't get to see each other all that often and sometimes we go months without talking, but you're still my best friend. It amazes me that when we do see each other or talk to each other after months of no contact, we pick up exactly where we left off. That is what I call true friendship.

Besides, you know too many of my secrets and you know too much about me... I can't get rid of you.
