To My Person

Whoever said that a girl and a boy can never be 'just friends' could not have been more wrong. It's all a scam if you ask me; to induce you to feel a certain way or to undermine the sentiment of friendship as a whole.

I say this because I know what it is like to have THE BEST FRIEND in the world and I'm as sure as anything that we will not screw this up. And yes it's a guy.

He's the kindest, he's funny and the most compassionate person I know. But most importantly he's a major pain in the ass. Well, to be fair, I'm no less in sucking the life out of him as well. But that's only justified.

I don't even know why I call him my friend; he's basically my nanny. He's always taking care of me and protecting me whenever I need him and also all the time that I don't. Feeding me, taking me places, listening to me cry when I'm drunk, sharing all my fandom craziness, tolerating my constant whining, pissing me off from time to time, bitching about other people together and also getting me into trouble. Oh and he's the best photographer. He's the whole package and turns into the biggest diva when he's hungry. He let's me beat him up and annoy him to hell and even though he tortures me in return sometimes, I'd have it no other way. And the best thing is that he gives the warmest hugs. 

Why am I writing this you ask? Clearly she's in love, you say? Well I beg to differ. If you say that then you don't know the difference between different kinds of love. And you certainly cannot begin to comprehend the love that exists between true friends.

I'm writing this because I don't think I appreciate him enough for being in my life. And I can't begin to imagine it without him. Well we have plans to haunt people together when we are dead so I don't think I have to worry about it.

In Bengali we don't say 'I love you.' Instead I just call him 'goru', which even though directly translates to 'cow'; it conveys 'my heart loses purpose without you.' And I think that's apt.

He's the Harry Potter to my Hermione Granger, the Doctor to my Donna, the Clint Barton to my Natasha Romanoff, the Wilson to my House; far less impressive though. And last but not the least he's the Joey Tribbiani to my Monica Geller. He is my person. And I'm blessed to have someone like him, even though I don't deserve him at all. And I say this because I've lost friend's before. It kills you, and I cannot afford to lose him. I love him even though he's the biggest idiot in the world. So that's that; and it goes without saying - "I will always be there for you, cause you're there for me too."
