To the best friend I won't see this summer,
It is honestly hard for me to comprehend that I won't see you every day once this semester ends. Over the past seven months, I have been accustomed to seeing you at least once a day for a recap of that day's events. The good, the bad, the ugly, you were always there to listen. It seems odd that in a couple of short months I can't just walk down the hall and knock on your door when I need outfit advice. Or that Saturday night won't bring you digging through my closet attempting to find a combination of shirts and pants that we haven't tried yet.
It's difficult for me to imagine how I will get through almost three whole months separated by many miles from you. I know we still have FaceTime and texting, but it just will not be the same. I'm positive that our inside jokes will live through the summer, and we will probably make more, but I will miss having you steps away.
I hope that your summer is full of adventures (that you will obviously give me all the details about afterward) and laughter. I know that you'll be working hard this summer but remember to set aside some time to have a little fun. Although, I'm sure you won't have a problem with this. Make so many great memories so that when we get back to school this fall, we have at least an hour's length of conversations to have. But who am I kidding? We don't really need conversation topics in the first place. We don't really need to talk, and I am so grateful to have a friend like you--it's not every day that you find someone you can be silent with.
Don't forget about me over the summer, but if you do, I'll make sure you remember who I am the second we both move back in. You can count on that, but I'm hoping you won't need the reminder. Enjoy being home with your friends, family, and doggo. I may not know everything about you, but I do know that you love all of the above and will enjoy all of the time this summer will allow you to have with them.
I'll miss burning bags of popcorn with you and making laundry runs. I'll have to find someone else to finish the pizza I spontaneously order at 2 a.m., but they will only be my pizza intern. No one can replace you and your pizza eating skills. It will be weird not have my daily shenanigans with you, but I know that this summer will be a great one so make the most of it.
And this may be soft, but I am so beyond grateful to have someone in my life who makes me miss them during the summer. Thanks for being my best pal, pal.
OO (no X's),
Your best friend
