Dear Best Friend,

Thank you.

This may seem sappy and cheesy, but I just want to thank you for everything. You have been an amazing friend to me and I hope that someday I can be a quarter of the friend back to you. You have done so much for me and I am forever grateful. I love all the laughs we share. I love being the shoulder for you to cry on and I love knowing that your shoulder is there if I need it. I know you are there with open arms if I ever need a hug to cheer me up. I can trust that you will answer the phone at 3 a.m. listening to me cry for countless reasons. I can trust you with my life, best friend.

I love you beyond words can say. I know I can't thank you for everything: there is simply too many things that I could thank you for, but I can take a shot at making a pretty solid list. Thank you for being my shoulder, being my joke when I need one, and giving me your wisdom that I've never had. Thank you for hanging out with me and not letting me do stupid things on my own, you just join me! Thank you for showing me that it is better to be loved more deeply by a few people as opposed to being loved not nearly as much by a lot of people. Thank you for bringing out the best version of me. Thank you for helping me through hard times. Thank you for holding me in my times of darkness and promising me that indeed, it will be okay. Thank you for everything. I could make this pages long. There is just far too much to thank you for.

I know we are still young and life is going to throw a hell of a lot at us in these next few months, but I promise you with all my heart that we will get through it. We will always stay connected and be best friends forever and always. You are my forever and no matter what life could and will throw at us, we will dodge it together. You may not trust me when I say this, but I trust it completely. We will forever be best friends. Through ups and downs, highs and lows, tears and laughs, and so on and so forth. 

Best friend, please know that I love you. I simply don't know where the hell I would be without you today. Hell, I don't even know if I would be here if it weren't for you. 

I know there is always fights and rough patches, but the world we live in today is crazy. One second someone is here, the next second a tragedy happens and they are gone. Please remind you best friend how much you love them, even if you are going through a rough time with them. You never know when you aren't going to be able to say it to them anymore.

I really can't tell you how much I love you, but I sure hope you know just how much I love you, best friend.
