Over the past three and a half years I've learned that distance means nothing when it comes to a real best friend. For the past three and a half years we've been separated by thousands of miles. It's not easy at all living so far from your best friends, but it doesn't matter how many miles are between us, at the end of the day you are the person that I am lucky enough to be able to call my best friend.
You are the person that was there for me whenever I needed you. You are the person who didn't leave me alone, not even once, after my grandfather died. You are the person who didn't tell me "I told you so" after a boy played me. You are the one who has listened to every single one of my goals and dreams and has supported them all no matter how unrealistic they might be. And you've done every single one of these things being miles and miles away from me.
Sometimes it can all get exhausting and all you really need is a hug from your best friend, but unfortunately you just have to settle for a text. But sometimes that one text can mean so much more than anything else.
You've showed me what a real best friend is. You've showed me that no matter how much we might grow apart, no matter how many times we both go on in our own way to discover the world, no matter how long we go without seeing each other, we will always know exactly where our home is. You are my home, my comfort zone, and no matter how many times I step out of that comfort zone I can do it because of you, because I know you will always be right there behind me supporting any decision I make.
Yes we've grown and have gone our own different paths to pursue our dreams, even if that meant being apart. But distance can't erase the fact that you know me better than I know myself, it can't erase the fact that whenever something good or bad happens you are the first person I want to tell, it can't erase the fact that you will forever be my best friend no matter where I am.
Our friendship is one of the strongest friendships I've ever seen and I dream of the day that we will be able to spend every single one of the big or small events of our lives together. I can't even begin to explain how much you've strengthen me and how I would be completely lost without you because at the end of the day you're are my best friend, you're just my best friend on the other side of the world.
