This one is for you.
This one is for you, because you make me want to be a better person. You think of others before ever thinking of yourself and will go out of your way to make others happy and cared for. I can't even count how many times I've sat back and watched you selflessly help people just because you could and not because you thought it made you look good or wanted something in return.
This one is for you, because you share my passion for music. You have no idea how much it means to me to have someone that I can discuss and analyze lyrics to songs that have changed my life with and that you share the music that has changed your life with me. I can not wait for all the concerts we'll go to together in the future and scream at the top of our lungs and then cry afterwards because we're sad it's over, but happy it happened.
This one is for you, because even though you're over 100 miles away, I know you still care, whether it be a simple "This reminds me of you" text or tagging each other in a Buzzfeed post on Facebook about dogs. We don't talk as often as we used to or see each other as much, but when we do it's like nothing has changed.
This one is for you, because you accept me for who I am even when I don't. You're the first and only person who has ever told me to not apologize for being emotional. I know that I'm a lot to handle sometimes, but I'm so grateful that you decide to stay and put up with me.
This one is for you, because you're you. Even on the days that you consider your worst, you inspire me. You are strong, know what you believe in, and know what you want. You are kind and beautiful and brilliant and hilarious. You exude confidence even when you don't feel like it or know that you do. You are an absolute force to be reckoned with. You're my best friend and "platonic soulmate." I thank God that He blessed me with you.
I want you to read this when you have an off day or a rainy season. Read this when you're homesick. Read this when you don't do as well as you would have liked on a test. Read this when someone (or I) let you down or you feel like you've let someone else down. Read this when you're in a bad mood for no reason, because this one is for you.
