Dear Best Friend.

There aren't enough words in this world to explain what you mean to me. You are someone I got along with from the get go. You are the one person i could talk to for hours at a time and not get tired of. You are the kind of person I am proud to call my best friend.
In being my best friend, you've done a lot for me. You've been the only person I've ever known that could bring me out of a dark thought simply with your presence. You've held my hand through the hardest and easiest parts of my life. You've tried to protect me from dirtbag boys, then helped me feel better when I didn't listen. You've put one some kickass jam session performances with me. You stood by me when I needed someone. And most of all, you're always proud of me.
You are someone that I can see myself laughing at nothing with 40 and 50 years down the road. I say that because you're always there to laugh with, no matter what. We've laughed at some hilarious things, some stupid things, some serious things, and absolutely nothing. The laughter with we share, to me, is the best kind that exists. It's that kind that brings tears to your eyes, tightens your stomach, and brings out the loudest sounds of pure joy that are in you out.
I know I always have you, and I hope that never changes. I hope nobody comes between us, because that's happened a lot. I hope we never drift apart because of the physical distance between us. And I hope you never forget the memories we share.
You may not be one of those people I met at birth and have grown up with, but it feels like it. It feels like I've known you my whole life and that's the best kind of friend you can have.
Even though we don't get to talk as much as we used to, I know I still have you. And you, of course, always have me.
Please don't ever change who you are, yes grow and experience the world in a million and one ways, but stay you. You are the most sincere person I have ever had the honor of knowing. And i love that. I love that i can say that without batting an eye.
I love you, very very much. And i miss you just as much. But i will see you again, and we will pick up right where we left off. Until then..know I'm thankful; for everything you've done, you do, and you will do. It means the world to me.
