Dear Best Friend,

Let me just start by saying--I miss you. A lot. Things haven't been the same since you left and we went our separate ways. I miss all of the times we would sing in my car while driving to the mall. I wish you could still be here to join me in song. We have had our ups and downs but at the end of the day...you are my best friend and I don't know what I would do without you.

Distance is something that is pretty hard to define. You can count how far away you are from something in measurements. You can check a map and see how far you are from a specific location. Distance is a superficial thing compared to friendship. You could be miles and miles away from someone, yet not feel any different. That's exactly what love is.

As you packed your bags...I'm sorry that I wasn't there. I couldn't bare to see my best friend go so soon. You mean a lot to me and things won't be the same without you hanging out in my room with me. I'm happy for you..trust me, I am. I wish for you to meet new friends, explore in new ways, and enjoy life. Just make sure that you save some time for me during our video call hour.

My heart broke the second you left but I know you will be back soon. Distance will never define this friendship. No matter who comes into my life--you will always be number one. We have gone through heartbreaks, happiness, sadness, grief, and joy together. We share secrets and trust each other no matter what happens.

At the end of the day--you are always going to be in my heart. We have each other and that's what matters. I miss you every single day- yet feel so close to you at the same time.

Sincerely,

Your Long Distance Pal
