The memories we have shared to the ones we have yet to create, there is no one else I'd rather have by my side. Thank you for willingly spending time with me, even in times of heartbreak.

I am able to share the words of my heart without the fear of judgment or displacement. You have a way of making me feel safe in the ensemble of chaos, and that is a rare quality to find someone, especially these days. You are singlehandedly the only person who takes me in on my weakest days and lifts me up when my spirits are swooping low to the ground.

I have spent hours recalling the countless memories from the back of my mind, and they still bring me to an instantaneous smile. I think my favorite moments were the ones I had out right peed my pants from laughing so hard. Whether it was something you said or something we both witnessed, there has never been a day we haven't laughed with one another. Well, maybe laughing at each other, too.

I can honestly say that you are the most unusual, quirky, remarkable human I have ever met. From having mini garage sales to sledding when it snows to traveling the world together, you have been a prominent figure in my life. Your heart is so kind and I am overjoyed you have trusted me with knowing your thoughts and ideas and dreams.

I am absolutely thrilled but fearful for the next few years because of the distance that will separate us. Without us knowing we will be moving on with our lives; going to new schools, living in different states, making new friends. It will all be so foreign especially without my adventurous best friend exploring it with me. The dreadful day will be one of the hardest goodbyes I'll have to face.

I truly can't comprehend how you handle my loud and overbearing emotions. I don't thank you enough for the happiness you have brought me in the years that I've gotten to know your soul. There are certain words that taste like acid when they roll off my tongue, and whenever I have the courage to share them, you relentlessly give me the comfort and support I didn't know I needed. And I don't tell you enough how much I love you, even when you don't accept my hugs. Your genuine spirt keeps me, and the others around you, in tact. You will always be my best friend, and I'm beyond grateful I get to live out this crazy life with you by my side.

You make me believe in the good of this harsh world. The love. The light. All the sunshine. You are a wildflower. "We're friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I'll still be here." -Meredith Grey
