To my forever friend:
If you had told me when we first met that I would be meeting the single most best friend I had ever had, I would have called your bluff. But on the contrary, I knew from our first two encounters that I needed to befriend you and my only regret is that I hadn't sooner. We are living proof that it is not the amount of time we've been friends, but the things we have been through together.
In four short years, we've been inseparable, you've seen me fall in love, fall out, cry, laugh, scream... And you've stood by me through it all. You've seen me in my ugliest moments and you've always loved me. I've called you from bathrooms (drunk...) and you've always made it known that you would drop whatever it is you were doing to come get me and make me feel safe. You've held my hair and you've faced things you wouldn't for anyone else and I promise that never goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
Your family welcomes me like I'm one of your siblings. And at a quick glance, my mom can't tell us apart anymore. My best memories have been made with you. I can always count on you to be my date for whatever endeavor I don't want to face alone. You're always down for whatever crazy adventure I have in mind, or to watch bad reality TV eating pizza at 7 o'clock on a Friday night. I know you have my back.
You are strong. Thank you for that. Thank you for balancing in my life in all the ways that I lack. Thank you for knowing me in my moments of doubt. Thank you for always being my wing gal (or my bail-out when things aren't going well). You always know how to pick me up when I'm feeling down and out... For the countless late-night food runs and pep talks. For always scrolling through my screenshots from every f*ckboy in the book. For always being on my side, but being able to be truthful when I'm not seeing the bigger picture.
You're my forever friend a) because you know too much and b) because I wouldn't have it any other way.
Love always,
Your forever friend.
