Dear Home Best Friend,
First, let us start off with how much I miss you. While I have found multiple great friends here at college, they won't be able to take your place.
You came into my life when I really needed a friend and who knew that someone who has had my back since the day we met would only live six minutes from me. Too bad it took us a few years to actually meet. Even at six hours apart now, I know that you are still there for me and I am so grateful for you.
I also miss the times we spent together in that small town, driving around for hours and jamming to 2000's music. The stress reliever that it was is not nearly the same here. Or when we played hide-n-seek in Walmart at midnight.
Or that one time we got kicked out for playing hide-n-seek. The time I accidentally broke your glove box (I'm still sorry about that). Or the time that you made the faucet fall off of your sink while doing dishes.
I think my friends here have heard almost every story about us, maybe a few more times than once. Like the time you finally figured out what the song "Ignition" was actually about. The time you made me go to the rodeo because it would be "the best time" of my life. It wasn't actually that bad, but I will probably not be going back.
I am so grateful for the support that you and your family still give me even though I am not home much. I always know when I need an unbiased opinion or I just need to talk to someone, you are there for me. And I hope that you know that I am always here for you.
I am so proud of everything that you have done since I have left. I have seen so much growth for you as a person. You've got a great job that I know you enjoy so much. You've done so many great things with your singing and I am so proud of you for following your dreams. It honestly inspires me. Plus, you were accepted to college! You're absolutely killing the game.
I am so happy to be able to call you my best friend.
You always know how to make me smile and I'm not for sure if you just sense when I am having a bad day, but every single time you seem to think of me and send me a snapchat of a song we enjoyed while driving at night. I hope that I do the same for you.
I hope that wherever life takes us, whether it is six minutes away or across the world, we will still be best friends. To wrap this letter up, I think it would be appropriate to add some lyrics that we always jam to.
You're a true friend
You're here 'til the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend
Love,
Your Best Friend
