We have friends who live near and friends who live far. The ones that live far away sometimes tend to be the ones we're closest to. Why is that? I don't know. Sometimes it feels like even if they are the farthest in distance they're the ones that are closest to us. As time grows, so does the friendship.
Planning to see your friend is a blast, it may have been weeks, months, or years away, but every time you meet up it's a freaking adventure. Every time you meet up, you learn to cherish every conversation, moment and laugh you share, because you honestly don't know when you'll see them again. The best part of these visits is thinking back to the good ole times and the other trips or mini vacations you've taken together, there's nothing better than having countless memories to smile back at.
When anything happens you know you have to tell them as soon as possible, even if it's the most trivial thing. They just have to know, and you know that they're always there to listen to your stories, no matter what time of day it is. From sharing things like life milestones, to things like "I just spilled coffee all over me", they know it all.
You know you'll have this friend for just about forever. They live very far away but you end up seeing them more than the friends that live near you sometimes, lol. There's nothing that can really break your bond, you may disagree and bicker sometimes but it's resolved in less than 24 hours because you know that you can't really go a day without talking to them.
Another thing is that you know them better than probably anyone else, and vice versa. You know all about their past, present, what they want in the future. All the pain they've been through, all the good times they've enjoyed. Just about everything. This is why you know you can be there for them anytime with the best advice, and you know you can cheer them up with the best insiders. If they really are one of your greatest friends you know they can make you laugh in less than a sentence. You also know that they have your back over anyone else's, no matter what the situation or who it involves.
There's two of you but you know that your closets, wallets, and mind are all shared. Your clothes are their clothes, your money is their money and vice versa. You basically have to argue to see who pays the bill, and there's no worries about "splitting". It goes to whoever's not broke at the time, and that's a mutual understanding, and you know that you could never have this bond with anyone else. You both somehow are always thinking the same thing at the same time and end up saying the same thing at the same time out loud. Or maybe thats just me and my best friend? But you know that you can tell what's on their mind by their facial expressions, and you know what's bothering them, or what they're judging looking at a person.
Overall, as the years go by the collection of memories grows, the conversations get longer, the list of things you still need to do together gets longer, as well as many other things. You know this person will be present for every important moment in your life, wedding, graduation, when you have kids, etc., and you know you wouldn't miss a moment of theirs. More than anything you know you wouldn't wanna be in this with anyone else.
