To my best friend,
Now I know we're best friends right now, and we do everything together—Friday night movies, boy advice, late night soda runs, prom dates, sleepovers, shopping sprees, you name it.
But things are going to change. We're going to graduate in just a few short weeks. Our friends will move to different colleges. Some of us will stay together and some of us won't. Some will move away to a different part of the country, and some of us will stay right where we are. Some of us will get married within a year while most of us will wait a few years. You will go to your favorite college and I will go to mine. We'll study different things, and get different jobs, and maybe we won't always be able to see each other often.
But know that I'm grateful for you. We've made some amazing memories since we first met. You helped me through rough times and danced with me at stag dance nights. You listened to me cry over the phone when I broke up with my boyfriend, and we cheered our school team on at the home football games. We watched scary movies together late at night and talked about boys until the sun came up. These are memories of high school I will never forget, and they all include you!
I'll remember when we drove up the canyon on a Friday night and had a fire with all our friends. We played the guitar and sang songs together. Or the time when we party hopped on Halloween night and ended up sleeping over at your house. The concerts we went to and the dances we partied at- who knew I would miss them all!
We're going to different colleges and I know this is going to be tough. I'm going to miss you so much! I'll think of an inside joke and no one will understand the humor we have. We won't see each other every day like we used to but don't worry—I'll always answer the phone when you call. And when Christmas break rolls around we can have a day to ourselves to catch up again. Even though we might not call every week or even every month, whenever I see you I'll know that we'll still be close enough to smile and say hi.
Try to keep in touch, OK? And I'll do my best to do the same.
Love,
your best friend
