Dear BFF,

We have been through a lot. And when I say a lot... I mean years and years of putting up with each other. I love my friends that I have made in college and I guess I am happy that you have made some too (even though sometimes I get jealous of them). But these friends could never replace you.

Yes, college has been some of the best years of my life, but the years that we lived five minutes from each other? Those were the years that shaped us into the people we are today. Between kindergarten and senior year, I don't think there was one day that went by without us eating lunch together, going to Target, or hanging out in each other's kitchen.

You became a part of my family as I became a part of yours. If the family was going somewhere it was expected that you would be there as well. Boys came and went (and they still do) but through it all, you have been the one that I could count on.

You were there for my first boyfriend and I was there for yours. We celebrated elementary, middle, and high school graduations together. You stayed with me through the awkward, drama filled, middle school days and for that, I could never thank you enough. Over the years, you became more than a best friend and more of a sister. Your influence had a huge impact on who I am now as a person and I must say it was overall a positive one.

We were the people in high school that were never found apart. Deciding to go to colleges so far from each other was a surprise to everyone, including us. Even though we do not see each other every day, you are still the first person I call when anything happens. It could be exciting news, having a horrible day, a decision I need help making, or just someone to listen to me talk. No matter what it is, the long distance relationship we have been in recently hasn't changed anything.

We used to sit in our bedrooms and talk about the days that we are living now. We dreamed of college and all the freedom we were going to have. Now, we are still those little girls dreaming of the future to come. We want to live together since college didn't allow that to happen and we want our future children to be best friends just like us.

You have always been the Mary-Kate to my Ashley, the Blaire to my Serena, the Lauren to my LO, and the Christina to my Meredith. There is no time or distance that could jeopardize the relationship that we have built over the years. Thank you for being my boyfriend when I don't have one, and even when I do. I know I will eventually marry a boy, but I truly believe that you are the soulmate God made for me. I feel sorry for people that do not have a life long friend that is their other half. I can't imagine having to go through this life without you. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for never getting sick of me, and for promising to love me until death do us part.

Your BFF
