You and my BFF have been together for quite a while now. You guys seem pretty happy, and as the only person that knows her just as well as you do, or possibly even better, it is only right for me say this to you: Thank you.
Thank you for being there for her when I couldn’t. I haven’t always been around when she needed me and sometimes I’m just not sure what to say. I used to be her number one go-to when she was upset about anything and everything. Bad test grades, a fight with her parents, you name it. But since you’ve come into the picture, she has you to go to too -- and I’m grateful for that.
You know how to pick her up when she’s feeling down and talk her down from all sorts of ledges. Thanks for giving her someone to run to when she’s mad at me. Yeah, even that happens sometimes. Between the two of us, she has a pretty great support system.
Thanks for admitting when you’re wrong and choosing your battles. It can’t always be easy putting up with her. Trust me, I know she can be a pain in the ass sometimes. But any time you’re fighting, I guarantee she’s wishing you weren’t. Thanks for letting her win sometimes when you’re arguing about where to go to dinner or what movie to watch. But don’t let her win all the time; we can’t let her ego get too big.
Thank you for making her smile. I know this girl all too well and I can tell when she’s happy and when she’s not. And because of you she’s happy a lot of the time. Thanks for treating her with the respect and the kindness she deserves. I’ve been with her through all of her past relationships and I can say without a doubt you've made her happier than she’s ever been before.
I think we can both agree that she’s a pretty amazing girl and we’re both lucky to have her in our lives. Thanks for taking her on all those cute dates and surprising her with flowers, because if we’re being honest, it’d be kind of weird if I did some of those things for her.
Thank you for being my friend, too. I know we were already friends before you guys started dating, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve gotten much closer since then. Thanks for all the times you let me third wheel on your dates and for not making it awkward. Thanks for putting up with me and her being complete goofballs sometimes. Thanks for not taking up all of her time and not leaving me wondering if I’ll ever see her again. Thanks for always running all of your gift ideas for her by me and letting me do the same. We’ve formed a special relationship of our own and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
By the way, I’m totally going to take credit for this relationship. I mean, after all, I did set you two up.
But don’t be fooled by all this sweet talk; I still wholeheartedly mean it when I say:
If you break her heart I will break your neck.
With love,
Your Girlfriend’s Best Friend
