There's this idea that "opposites attract." I'll admit, I used to scoff at the idea. It seemed silly that I would ever get close to someone who wasn't exactly like me. Well, when people look at us, I’m sure that they think that’s what we’re about. Walking around, we probably look pretty silly. You tower over me. I barely come up to your ribs. Heck, we could be the two kids from "Freak The Mighty." But, no one really knows about how much we complete each other.

You’re loud and have no problem calling people out. Sometimes you’re a little reckless or crazy. People flock to you because of your charismatic personality. There’s just something about you that everyone loves. From the first day we met, I felt honored that you would want to talk to me. You are pretty much an open book. If someone crosses you, they’ll know it that second. You seem to have it all together most of the time.

I am quiet and don’t like confrontation. I don’t mind a little crazy sometimes, but I don’t consider it a lifestyle. I will be social with people who are around me, but I don’t always start the conversation. I have my friends and though I love meeting new people, I don’t always like to go out of my comfort zone to meet a new person on my own. Too often, I close myself off and don’t tell people what’s on my mind enough. But, somehow, I seem to give off the idea that I know what I’m doing.

Now, we both know that the descriptions I just gave barely scratch the surface of who we really are. We are both these strange, complex beings and we balance each other out. I stop you from doing anything too dangerous and you push me to experience the fun things in life. You're the one who I trust to tell me if what I'm doing is too crazy. You get me to talk about things that are important. I get to see your sensitive side. I can tie your shoes because I’m closer to the ground. You get things off the top shelf that I can’t reach. In a crowd, you always hold my hand because you know I could be easily lost, but I always know that you’ll stand out above the crowd (literally). We just round each other out and complete each other.

Sometimes we butt heads because we are both as stubborn as mules. We get on each other’s nerves and make decisions that the other one doesn’t like. I make mistakes, you make mistakes. Neither of us is perfect, but we always find a way to forgive each other and come out stronger. We’ve been pretty much inseparable for years, and we’ve seen each other through some of the highest highs and the lowest lows.

Thank you for balancing me out and keeping me sane. We have millions of memories and I could not imagine my life without you. You’re such a large part of my life and I just love us. We can go a while without talking, but then we reunite and it’s like nothing has changed. We can spend hours upon hours together and I don’t ever get tired of you. I love you. Thank you for being the yin to my yang, the Elphaba to my Glinda, my best friend, and my "opposite."
