Hey you,

Thought I forgot about you but I can guarantee that's not the case. You have been my friend for years and my family additive since freshman year when I didn't have any other friends I liked enough to sit with and you were open arms.

We have been through so much together from your crazy exes to me needing chocolate milk at 3 am during the rain, remember that? Of course, you do because you never let me forget!

I want to take this second to get real deep with you because otherwise, it won't be said the way it's supposed to because you'll be an ass and rub it in my face. You were the first man aside from family to ever make me feel comfortable in your presence, and we both know that took a bit to happen. After all the years of distrust, I had with guys you were the break trough and I'm glad that person was you because you have touched my life in a way no one else could ever get close enough for and opened me up to more people that care. I have you to thank for that. You are the person I would text at one in the morning because I just needed to walk or felt a spontaneous adventure. The person who turned me into one of the guys and allowed me to form a group of friends I loved to have. The person who always feels the need to hug me while you are all sweaty and smell like shit. You have become one of my family members and dude, I'm sorry but you're not leaving anytime soon.

I know I always have you to confide in, especially when it's about guys. I literally get your scoop on everyone I have had a crush on, your input matters a lot whether you believe it or not. I'm glad I have you to talk to no matter what and vice versa. Your life can be crazy but you would always somehow find time to lend me your ear about anything. You were the first person I saw after I heard some bad news that rocked my world because all I needed was a hug from Poh to make me feel a little better. I know our friendship reached hard times when either of us were in a relationship especially practically disappearing from the earth because all of our time was devoted to our special someone, but I don't know how we did it but here we are. I promise I won't let a guy I'm dating "take" me away from you or any other friends again because that was a hard time without the people I love. My free spirit needs to be adventurous without limits and you definitely understand that and helped me get my swing back. This just goes to show that our " brotherhood" was made to last.

Yeah we go weeks without talking mainly because growing up and pursuing different paths in life does that but you're are not too hard on me for it. We have regular messages updating each other every so often, but we definitely like a majority of each other's postings on the various social media sites so that helps the cause a little. So just know I stalk your page regularly cheering you on in your successes and obnoxiously commenting on some to just be an ass. We go back and forth very often, not because we hate each other but because it's how we greet the other. No hard feelings(usually). But you are the best at keeping me on my toes with your quick comebacks. I'll admit this once but I still can't out with you with comebacks, but trust and believe me when I say I will. Until then we can keep our debates on whatever going.

Thank you for cooking pancakes because I pretended not to know. And for being my eyes and ears when I'm not there. Thank you for looking out for my siblings even when I'm not around. And for walking across the city just to keep me company. Thank you for dragging me along on your adventures. And for all the times you listened to my music even though I have a different taste. Thank you for delivering all the office slips in high school because I was too afraid to. And for letting me sit with you at lunch that time. Thank you for including me and checking up on me. But most of all thank you for always being there, and for your help with keeping me in touch with reality.

You are one of the people I am most thankful for. Without you, I would still be a shell of a person rejecting any source of friendship coming my way. You helped me in more ways than one and I can't wait for the day you find yourself a girl that adores you as much as I do. After all, you have always showed me how I am supposed to treated. So cheers to this one of a kind friendship we have going on and to the family member I have found. Long live the Poh, I love you sh*thead!
