Dear Best Friend

If you're reading this, I hope you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me. To be frank, I can not even imagine what I would do without you in my life. I often find my own self wondering what I did to deserve you. We spent hours in class chatting, quarreling, laughing and ending up with a friendship that was totally improbable, and yet so strong. Even after leaving school, we’ve had our differences but we never lost sight of our friendship. In fact, I believe they strengthened our friendship and now, I can’t picture a life without you in it.

For the last eight years of my life, I have been through so many different stages, like, new school, new college, falling out with friends, heartbreaks, graduation, new job, and through all of the good and bad times, you have been with me. I couldn't thank you enough for that. Without you in my life, I wouldn’t have my twin sister. You bring out the real me and never judge me, no matter what. People have come and gone out of my life, but for some reason you never left. Your friendship is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.

You have made my life so much better since you entered it and the memories that we have made together are one in a million. Our unexpected friendship filled a hole in my life that I didn’t know existed. You fill my life with an immense amount of happiness and love. I know that wherever life takes us, you will be part of my life. If we don’t talk for some time, we pick up right where we left off. Whenever I need you, I know you will always be there.

I used to think friendship is all about sleepovers, night outs, shopping sprees and spending every day together. I was wrong. True friendship is when  you can't meet everyday but still feel so close it blows your mind, or getting so excited to see the other one after months, being able to call them at any time of day because you need them, feeling like you always have someone in your corner. Having you as my best has made every individual day better. And I hope to never lose that.

I have gone like so many days without talking to you and it is killing me inside. If I could turn back time and change everything that I have ever done to hurt you, I would. You are most definitely the ying to my yang, and I don’t care how cliché that sounds.

It’s as if I wished up a best friend, and poof—you appeared right in front of me. I am so beyond blessed to have you and I wouldn’t trade the world for all our memories. Thank you for loving me just the way I am and for never seeking to change me. 

People say that a seven-year friendship is a friendship that will last a lifetime. I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you will still be at my side in 10 years’ time. I’ll always be here for you to vent to or troubleshoot with. And I’ll always be here to lift you up and remind you just how amazing you really are. And I’m just glad I know you.

Love,

Me
