We have been friends since junior year. That may not be like a long time to others but in that short about of time, we have been through so much together. In high school, I never thought someone like you would ever cross my path but I am so thankful that you have. You have changed my life in so many ways that I can't even explain to you. Even though you are leaving I just want you to know a few things before you go.
Thank you for being there for me. I know sometimes I can really be hard to handle but you have never said anything wrong when to try to make me feel better. I also know that sometimes you don't know how to help but it's the fact that you always try that means the most to me. You never let me down when I need a shoulder to cry on or someone to just vent to at two in the morning. I will miss our 2 a.m. vent sessions.
Another thing I want you to know before you go is that you will always have a place in my heart. You have left footprints on my heart that will never go away. No one has ever accepted me the way that you have and it will always mean so much to me. You loved me for me and I'm so thankful I did not have to act a certain way just for you to like me.
You will always be my best friend. Even though we are going our separate ways I am so happy for you that you are doing what you think is best for you. Even though we are going to be almost two hours apart and I will miss you, just know I am so proud of the person you are becoming. Since that first day of junior year, I have watched you grow into someone I will never regret meeting. You are a great person inside and out and don't let anyone tell you any different.
Also, I am so thankful I got to be your roommate for a year. This past year has been one of the most amazing years of my life and without you, it wouldn't have been so great. We have spent almost every day together for the past year and I can't even explain to you how many times I would do it all over again. I wish I could spend the next three years with you, but just know I am truly happy for you.
I just want you to know that I want what's best for you. Even though sometimes what's best for you, isn't what is best for me, what matters to me is that you are truly happy. I would put you before myself any time of the day. Normally, I would never do that for someone and you know that but you are just my best friend in this whole world and I can't help but want to do that for you.
So, before you go, I hope you know how much I will truly miss you and how much I truly love you. I'm so sorry if I ever took our friendship for granted. I hope that you come and visit me on the weekends, and we can spend time together whenever you are free. I will miss spending every day with you. I love you. Please don't forget that.
