To My Long Distance Best Friend,
We have just said “goodbye” to each other for what seems like the millionth time, and while it slowly gets easier to part ways, it will always make my heart hurt. The distance between us is killer, but it hasn’t weakened our bond at all; it just slowly strengthens it. Our friendship has occupied a space in my heart, and I just wanted to say thank you for... well, for you.
Have I mentioned recently how much you and our friendship mean to me? If I haven’t, I’ll kick myself later. Anyway, you have been nothing but a blessing to me. From your witty remarks that make me laugh, to the encouraging words that lift me up out of a dark hole. I can be my absolute self when I’m with you, and you accept me just the way I am, weirdness and all. I don’t know what I’d do without you (or how you’ve put up with me for this long).
Have I also told you that you are an amazing human being? I hope I have. You are a huge sweetheart, the strongest person I know, and a wonderful woman of God. You are beautiful, inside and out. Girl, you are a bright light in this cruel world, and I wish more people would be like you. Of course, no one could measure up to you. Not having you physically by my side is tough.
I talk about you to my peeps here at home, and they're probably tired of hearing about you, but I really don't care, because you're just so awesome. I'll be honest: I get a tad bit jealous when I see you having fun with your local friends, but what best friends don't? Our schedules collide on top of the distance, and sometimes our communication is either brief or nonexistent. Those gaps can be rough, I'll admit, but I understand you're super busy. At least we have Facebook and Skype to fill the void.
I know it sucks being a thousand miles away, and I wish I could see you a lot more often. But you know what? This exact distance has made me realize how strong and incredible our friendship really is. If we can withstand the amount of length between us, then what can break us apart? I’ll answer that: nothing. You’re stuck with me, sweet cheeks.
I am currently counting down the days until I see you again. If I don’t think about it, the days will fly by, but the excitement is too much, especially since I have the patience of a small child. We will get there though. With you, I always have something to look forward to. I love you so much and I miss you already. I’ll see you soon, okay?
Love,
Your Long Distance Best Friend.
P.S. I may or may not have cried while I wrote this… Oh, who am I kidding? I totally did.
