You were my best friend in a very awkward time of my life: high school. We weren’t always friends but when we did become friends we became close, closer than any of my other friendships ever were. We bonded over little things like books and drama club but I knew I was able to go to you with the bigger things too. We made many memories together. Then the end of senior year came.

I know that it was not easy to hear that I was going to be out of the state for college, especially since you were staying close to our small town. You were always supportive of my decision even though we knew it would make it hard to see each other during the school year. It was a huge change from seeing each other multiple times a day. But here we are a year later and I still consider you my closest friend.

We don’t talk as much as we used to and that’s okay. I know you are always a text or a snap away. One message and we are back to competitively sharing memes or talking about our favorite books. You are there when I need to ramble to. You are also the person I think of when I’m having a bad day. I go through the pictures we took or think about the memories we made and I start to feel better.

This summer I know we will make up for lost time. We will pick up where we left off and continue to make memories because that is the type of friendship we have. Thank you for being the best friend that I could ever ask for. Always know that I will be here the way that you are here for me.

With love,

The best friend who went out of state
