Dear Marissa,
My long-distance best friend, I would like for you to know how much you mean to me. You have always been there for me whenever I needed you.
I'm sorry I had to move away, I did not want to leave you. The move was really hard without you there right along with me. My life is not what it used to be, not what I want it to be. It's not what it was with you. I wish it could be like that again, but I know it can't
I know that we don't see each other much in person anymore, but in a way, I feel as if it has made our friendship stronger. We now have to find time to just talk or text. We may not talk every day, but when we do talk it is as if we haven't stopped talking. I know you may not be the best at giving advice but I know you care and that's enough for me.
Before I moved, I did not realize how much you meant to me. We were two peas in a pod; we did almost everything together. Then when I moved, I had no one to do silly and weird things with me. In fact, I still don't have anyone like you.
I know we fight from time to time, or we get mad at one another, but I hope you know I appreciate you no matter what happens. Sometimes I know I can act like I don't care but I do care. I care about everything we talk about from your boy drama to marching band.
The times where we visited each other during the summer were the some of my favorite vacations ever. We hung out and did things we used to do. Visiting you made me feel like I have never moved. But visiting you made me sad because while we did have lots of fun being with each other, I knew I would have to leave and it would go back to texting and face timing.
You are the introvert to my extrovert personality, the mature to my immature and the band geek to my sporty side. You are my opposite but that's why we work.
I miss you so much, my friend. I know me being gone is a struggle for both of us, but it has made us stronger as people and has made our friendship stronger. I hope you will continue to be the best friend I could have ever asked for. I wish you the best as we continue to grow and change. I love you.
Yours Truly,
Your long distance bestie
