When I look back to middle school now, I can't believe how much has changed over the years. However, one thing has remained constant: the relationship between my best friend and me. I'm grateful to know her. I like that I can talk about anything. I remember our handshake from middle school. If anything our friendship has only grown from over the years. We have been there for each other through the good and the bad. You have accomplished so much and I couldn't have picked a better person to be a lifelong companion.

I don't know what it would be like without being your friend. Our inside jokes are perfect. We always know exactly when to look at one another to make each other laugh. Our daily trips to Soho are the best, but I think the best thing we can go anywhere and just honestly have fun. I am never bored. We always have stories to share with one another. I know I can rely on you for anything. I know you will always be there.

It's funny to imagine that we were sitting on a hot gym floor 10 years ago in a gym at P.S 92. You have come so far and I am so proud of all you have accomplished and will in the future. We hardly argue. We know each other to the point where they can't be disagreements. I hope we never do but only continue to grow and prosper.

I want you to know that I will be with you through thick and thin. I will be with you every step of the way. We are on the next path of our lives soon. I know that even after college I will count on you for advice.

You're my confidant, literally my other half.

I hope that we're roommates. I hope that we never lose ourselves. I want you to always remember all the good times we have shared with one another. We have reached so far.

I just wanted to say thank you for sticking by me. You have never left my side once. You allowed me to be myself. You accepted me for my flaws and my choices. I hope you know I will never judge you for anything. This is us!

Don't let anyone tell you can't do anything. You're awesome and most of all you are my friend.

Now we are in our senior year of college. We have been through different crossroads in our lives. We both made new friends, but there will never be another us. I'm blessed to have had a friendship like this. I hope 20 years from now that we're still as close as we are now.

I know you're going to shine in the future. You will accomplish amazing things. I pray that all your dreams come true. You deserve every inch of happiness in the world. This is for you. This is for our friendship and everything for the years to come.
