Dear Best friend,
Although we live far apart now, that doesn't change the fact that you are and always will be my best friend. I remember first moving back to Florida and going into 6th grade lost and very scared not knowing anyone, but you saw me wandering the halls lonely and asked me if i wanted to sit with you at lunch. That is where our friendship started. You introduced me to all your friends, and I instantly made like 15 new friends right off the bat.
I remember my mom picking up from school and asking me how my first day was, and to this day you can ask her, that my response was, "I think I met my best friend." Even though we're 18 and 19 years old, I still wouldn't call anyone else my best friend like I would you.
So many memories fill my head as I write this, and it makes me smile just thinking about them. We used to babysit at your aunt's house and stay up all night watching "Teen Wolf," dwelling over our love for Stiles. Or we would babysit your little brother and sneakily have boys over (sorry Scott and Andrea). Your parents made me feel like home every time I walked into the house. Your dad would always say, "What's up turd?" and then your little brother would catch on and call me that too.... or when you FaceTime my mom saying you miss her. And I can't forget about our treacherous years of cheer. From the drives to games and watching movies in the car to the looks we'd give each other cheering on the sidelines wanting to leave.
As time went on, and I moved back to Tennessee, we drifted slowly, but the hardest part was saying goodbye to you. Now we may not talk all the time, but that doesn't mean i don't miss you or that you're not my best friend. You are the most loyal and trustworthy friend I've ever had. You are my only friend who has ever told me honestly when I look stupid or when I have a zit that needs to be popped (ew but you told me). And I miss that about you so much.
We may live 10 hours away from each other, but I know if I ever need to tell someone something or need someone to give me advice I can always give you a call. And every time I visit or you visit me, you get so excited and count down the days until we see each other. So you deserve a thank you from the bottom of my heart, and you deserve to know that even though I don't tell you all the time, that I love you, and you're my best friend even from miles apart.
