We've all had that best guy friend (BGF) who had feelings for you from the start. Whether you knew it and didn't act on it, or didn't know because you were too blind to see what everyone else saw; we've all been there. Yeah, it's always nice to have that guy perspective on things when you have a group of girlfriends (who let's face it, are just as lost in life as you are), but sometimes we ignore the fact that you could actually be something more than friends with him.
Thank you for always listening to every problem I've faced. Whether it was running out of chocolate when it was that time of the month, having an argument with my roommate, or being so overwhelmed with homework, you were always there. You'd surprise me with a chocolate bar, or offer to do one of my homework assignments to lighten my load. You always found a bright side and made me laugh through life's problems like everyone should. You also made sure to help me see what was worth caring about, versus what doesn't matter.
Thank you for the adventures and being my bodyguard. Whether it was running to Walmart at 11 p.m, making a McDonalds run after studying until 2 a.m., or thinking I could handle more alcohol than I actually could, you were always there to make sure nobody messed with all 120 pounds of me. Not to mention, there was never a dull moment with any of these trips.
Thank you for building my confidence and never judging my decisions. If I didn't feel confident in an outfit, or I dated someone you didn't like, you were always there to support me through it all. Even though you'd make sarcastic remarks about me being fat after I ate all of that double cheeseburger, you made sure that I knew you never meant it to be beyond a joke.
Thank you for enduring all of the times that I cried over a guy that wasn't you. I know it had to suck to constantly see me get hurt by guys while you were sitting there the whole time waiting to treat me better than any of the jerks I complained about. You always made sure to tell me that no, there wasn't anything wrong with me, that I deserved better and that I would find it one day, but you never tried to turn the situation around and make it about you or us.
Thank you for not hating me after all of the times we've had mixed feelings only for it not to work at that time. And thank you now for giving it yet another chance because this time, I finally see what I should have seen the whole time. You are the one who has seen guys walk all over my heart and have been there through so many of the problems life has thrown at me. You know the things that make me mad, smile, or cry, but you try your very best to only make me smile. You know how tenderhearted and vulnerable I can be, yet you don't take advantage of either one. You are always proud of me and continuously support me while making sure that I know my worth, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Not only are you my best friend, now you're so much more. Hey, I guess it's true, you do fall in love with your best friend.
