Hey you,

I’d like to start off by saying I am so glad that I met you. You are always there for me, and I know that can be hard. I know I tend to be too dramatic and the ‘extra’, so thank you for dealing with me. You know how to talk me down when I panic, and how to make me smile when I’m stressed-- not a lot of people can do that. You know about my past, and that I’m still broken; but you don’t look at me like I’m damaged. You know I sing horribly and that my coffee addiction makes me who I am. You put up with all of the pictures I take and how much I talk. You get me. It’s been less than a year, but I know that no matter what happens, through our ups and downs that I will fight for our friendship. I promise you. I have lost a fair amount of friends, but I know that I don’t want to lose you. Of all the people who have come and gone in my life, I’ve never loved them as strongly as I love you. You are my person, my other half. You will always be one of the most important people in my life, and I hope that one day I will be that for you as well. I’d like to take a second to thank you for everything you’ve helped me with; homework, boy problems (holding my hair while I…. you know), thank you. I want you to know that I will always pick up the phone for you when you call--- even though you know I hate talking on the phone. I will always text you back, even if it takes a day or two-- I will always put you first because of how important you are to me. I will hold your hair back, hand you the tissues when you cry, and pay for the Uber for you to get home safe (even when it’s your turn to pay). I will pick up the pieces when you are broken and be the person who sits with you as we watch Netflix. I will be there. You are one of my emergency contacts, someone I trust with my life, I only hope that you trust me with yours as well, if not today but someday. I ask only one thing from you, tell me when you’re mad or salty with me. Tell me when I’m being too much or when you’re unhappy with me, because I don’t want to lose you. I want to work things out when we are upset. I want to be someone you want to be friends with, even if that person takes time for me to become. I am so lucky to have met you, and I can’t wait to see what the next years hold for us because I know, that we are worth fighting for.

I love you.
