Dear best friend,
I am so proud of you. You followed your dreams and I could not be happier for you! I wish it didn't have to be across the country. Up here in Michigan, nothing truly is the same without you. I wish we could come to each other's colleges and hang out as we did in High School.
The little things we do matter so much to me our Facetime, conversations, snap chats, funny jokes in between only you and I. The times we would call each other just to say “Let's go for a drive" or “Want to come over?" “To do what?" “I don't know, just come over." When all we would do is just lay in bed and watch YouTube videos, and probably go get Ice Cream. We would always just do the simplest things, and I thank you for all of those fun small times. You are the funniest person I know and everything we say just makes sense to only us.
You mean the world to me, and I could not wish for a better best friend. But I wish we could've stayed close together. I miss our after-school hangouts, and our food runs, football games, concerts, summer pool and lake days. Us going to the mall and just screwing around there, too. I just wish we could make new memories. I love you so much, I could not ask for anything more than to be closer to you.
You are such an inspiration to me and so many others. I envy the way you carry yourself and allow yourself to open up to other people. I envy the way you have perfect hair, perfect skin, the prettiest blue eyes I've ever seen. You just are the best friend in the whole world. You have such a far future ahead of you, and I hope I can see everything you do.
I cannot wait to see you. I wish I could be down in Miami every weekend. I can only imagine what Spring Break is going to be like. I cannot wait to see your new home, adventure, do everything we have been talking about!
I love you so much, and I am so thankful we came into each other's lives in Elementary School. Even though it took us so many years to get close, and all of the ups and downs we had. Thank you for looking past my mistakes and forgiving me. I do not think I could be the person I am today without you and being someone I look to for everything I do.
I am so excited to spend so much time with you.
I will see you in March. Almost an exact month away. I cannot stop counting down the days.
From Michigan to Florida, I send so much love, and I hope you feel all of it because words can only say so much.
Love,
Your Best Friend up in the Mitten.
