Dear (insert best friend's name here),
Thank you for being my best friend. I know that sometimes its annoying and even too much to handle, but you do it with more love then I could ask for. Thank you for always knowing what to say when I need it the most; whether you ask me if I am okay or make a joke about poop, you do it at just the right moment. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky to have met you. Then I remember that you got me too so we're even.
Thanks for knowing the difference between a true joke and a joke that is actually my way of telling you something serious. Thank you for knowing that sometimes I don't actually mean what I say, but thanks for knowing what I actually mean. Thanks for making me talk to you about things that I normally keep to myself. If it weren't for you pulling information out of me I don't know that I would be sane right now. Also, thanks for knowing when to stop pulling. You never go too far and that is truly a gift.
Thank you for allowing me to know you at your deepest level. Thanks for trusting me with your ugliest snapchats and your weirdest stories. Your heart shines joy from within you, but you have dark corners as well, thanks for sharing them with me. I can't think of a person who knows me better than you do. I'm never afraid that you will judge me or lecture me; in fact, I'm never afraid of you. I know that you love me and that you will always support me, that knowledge is something everyone longs for.
You are truly a gift in my life. Your love, compassion, honesty and loyalty surround me daily; even when I'm not with you. People say you meet your best friend in college, I didn't believe that. It took a year for us to figure it out, but look at us now! We're basically the same person.
I have never met someone so different, but so similar to me. We believe different things, our faith or politics may not be on the same page, but that never seems to get in the way. We can disagree without any ill feelings toward each other, that is a miracle seeing that we both have strong opinions. Thanks for never putting your beliefs higher than mine, thank you for recognizing the true passion I feel for things and respecting that, even if you don't agree.
Thanks for being there all the time, for bringing an extra tube of cookie dough and for always loving me, even when I act ridiculous. Sometimes I feel so unlovable, as if no one on earth could love me if I'm acting like this much of a brat, but you love me anyways. It's not even that you love me in spite of my flaws, but for them. I couldn't ask for more, you are truly the best friend I could ever have, thank you.
Love,
(Your name here)
