Dear My Long Distance Best Friend,
I miss you. I miss our talks about anything and everything. I miss the laughs we had 24/7. All the inside jokes that just aren't quite the same now that we don't see each other in person. Talking on the phone, texting or even facetiming is not like being face to face. But you know what, living far away from you makes it that much better the next time we see each other. I've realized the benefits of having a friend like you that lives far away. We get to travel to see each other and who doesn't like to travel? It's fun getting to fly to see you and you flying to see me. So many different adventures are possible when being able to travel to different states to see each other. One of my favorites things to do is write letters. Having a pen pal makes everything more exciting. I can actually look forward to mail every other week. Instead of getting bills or unnecessary items in the mail, I get something that I actually can get excited for. I cherish the times that we get to hang out. Not having you around all the time makes the little things so much more fun the next time we see each other. Shopping, getting our nails done, just catching up, even doing a little gossiping always seems better after not being able to do those types of things for months at a time. There are some cons about you being so far away though.. When I need someone to talk to, the phone sometimes isn't the same. You know how to cheer me up and it's more difficult to cheer someone up over the phone than in person. It's hard going through relationship problems, breakups, and heartbreaks without you here, but you know what to do to make it seem like you are here. I always worry that maybe one day our conversations will fade, but I now realize that no matter what happens our friendship will always be there to kick long distance's butt. I know we don't live close to each other now, but one of these days that will change. No matter how old we are I know we will end up in the same state sooner or later. If it's not until we are old, I know we will end up in the same place as old women, with gray hair and walkers. We will still be gossiping, shopping, and getting our nails done, but this time we will be just a little bit older. Life without you here isn't the same but I can't wait for our next adventure.. whatever it may be. We are friends for a reason so I would just like to say that I can't wait to grow old and gray with you with a glass of wine in our hands and cheese ready as an appetizer. Just so you know, you're stuck with me and my wine obsession.
From,
Your Long Distance Best Friend
