S,

266.0 mi away. 266.0 minutes of facetimes and screenshots. 266.0 "bye I love you's". 266.0 plans for the future that we imagine
for ourselves, but in a way that feels like a trailer to a movie I'm dying to see. You see my dearest friend, you are
the type of person that I can lose contact with for days or even months at a time and when we reconnect, things pick up right where they left off. You see, we don't have to be in constant contact to ensure that this could very well relationship last forever. We don't need Snapchat streaks or nightly FaceTime calls. What we have is, constant Instagram likes and comments like
"wifey" or "that's my best friend," or even memes sent back and forth, to give both of us the reassurance that we are...
I'm not sure how else to say this but, endgame. I realized this the night that you FaceTimed me after both of us had just gotten back to our dorm rooms after a night out making questionable but memorable decisions. We sat and talked for an hour.
An hour filled with catch ups and eating whatever we can find at that moment.

You are beautiful, courageous, strong and independent. One of the smartest and kindest people I know. You are sensitive
and willing to pretend that you can't be hurt. We go together well like Mac & Cheese because we aren't obsessed
with each other 24/7 and we give each other the space we need; and I love you for that and all that is in your big heart.
I would take a bullet for you, well in the shoulder... okay let's just say grazed by a bullet or even pricked in the finger with a needle, we can discuss the details later. I am so grateful for your college friends, as jealous as I am. I am beyond happy
that they are taking care of you.

When we met almost 7 years ago and you told me that I was your friend now and I am not going anywhere. I was scared but
here I am, 7 years later with the date of the beginning of our "relationship" and your initials in my Instagram bio. You're amazing
and you deserve the whole world and some, I can't wait for you to take it. Thank you for being you, you're 10/10
would recommend.

Thank you for being a friend,

M
