Though you might be low maintenance, you're definitely, without a doubt, high quality.

I miss the times we often took for granted. The many days we spent walking down the halls at school, driving in circles around town, or laughing until we started wheezing. Your friendship has always meant the world to me, and even after all this time, you're still a big part of who I am.

Now that we've grown into young adults, who ultimately had to part ways to chase our dreams, I want you to know that I value your friendship even more now than I did back then.

Thank you.

Thank you for always being there for me whenever I need you. Even if we haven't talked or even seen each other in weeks or even months on end, I know that you'll still be there to let me borrow an outfit, drive miles to come comfort me, or help me bury a body. And for that, I am ever grateful.

Thank you for understanding. You understand that it's hard to keep in touch when our lives get hectic. You don't expect daily texts, weekly phone calls, or monthly visits, but when we do finally reunite it's as if no time has passed since the last time we were together.

Thank you for not judging me. When we come home for breaks and we finally have time to catch up, we exchange stories about what's been going on in our lives. Whether it's a story about a drunken night out or telling you about that guy I've been seeing, there's never any judgment, so thank you for that.

I'm cheering you on, and I am always your biggest fan. I try to keep up with your lives as much as I can. If I see your selfie on Insta, a status about changing your major, or cute pictures of you and your new friends on Facebook, I hit the like button. I love seeing how much you've grown and I am proud of everything you've accomplished.

People search their whole lives to find a friendship like ours, and how lucky are we that we found it so young?

Friendship isn't about constantly reassuring each other that we care about one another. Friendship is just knowing that we do.
