There are so many people in my life that I know are going to be my friends for as long as I live, but since you told me to write about you when I asked what to write about this week, I decided to dedicate this to you. You're welcome.
So, to my forever friend,
First off, I miss you.
I know I saw you only 4 days ago, but going from seeing each other literally every day for the past 5 years to seeing each other maybe once a month if we're lucky is really hard. Part of me wishes I could have convinced you to go to the same college as me or that I stayed and went to the same one as you, but I think that distance really is making our friendship grow fonder.
I miss our car rides home from school, I miss talking about boys, laughing until we cry over just about anything, and our endless number of inside jokes. I miss knowing your house was a mile down the road, not 80, and knowing you're a quick car ride away if I needed to borrow clothes or needed to sit in your driveway and cry because I couldn't go back to my house.
I know you have made amazing friends so far at college.
I'm so glad you have found people that you can be yourself around and do the same nonsense stuff we always used to do. I hope they know how truly lucky they are to have met a friend like you. I also hope they know I can never be replaced, no matter how hard anyone tries.
Throughout our friendship, I have learned so many things. I've learned what it is like to have someone you can count on 24/7, whether it be during the day or at 2 in the morning. I know you will always be there for me and I'll always be there for you. You support my stupid decisions and I support yours. Most of the time we're making them together anyway. I've learned that even though you can get annoyed with someone or maybe even fight with someone occasionally, you can always work it out in the end. We barely ever argue, but if we do I know that I couldn't live without you.
I've become close to your family as well. Your parents and siblings have never failed to make me feel welcome whenever I walk into your house. I've spent days there and I've loved every second of it. I've missed them maybe even more than I've missed you while we've been away at school.
Thank you for increasing my shopping addiction, for helping me spend all my money on food, and for hating butterflies just like I do. Thank you for driving my car when I'm too lazy, letting me steal all your sweatshirts, loving country music, and being just as boy crazy as I am.
Overall, thank you for being one of the best people in my life.
I'm not sure what I would do if I never asked you to come to that Syracuse basketball game with me. It really was the start of a great friendship. Even if sometimes you take a really long time to text back, I still love you and you're still my best friend. I can't wait to see where the next few years take us.
