We learned to live without each other, and that was the hardest part.
Do you remember the moment we found out I was moving and we wouldn't be able to do all the things we had planned: the houses on the beach next to each other, having kids at the same time, going on all these road trips, going to the same college and our boyfriends being best friends? We accepted that these things wouldn't happen to us, and we prepared for the long distance.
I know you see my Facebook, Instagram and weekend Snapchats. I'm out with people you have never met and places you have never been. We are both off doing our own things, making our own memories.
But as we continue this long distance friendship just know:
You Are My Number One
Having a long-distance best friend sometimes feels worse than having a long-distance boyfriend. (Who am I supposed to cry with after watching "Gossip Girl" for the 10th time?) Out of all the people that come and go out of my life, you will always be the most special to me. You have been with me since middle school, and I can't live without you in my life. You will always be the first person I text or call when I need help like, "What shoes match this outfit?" "Do you like this necklace?" "Why is this person being so annoying?" or "What am I going to do in life?". All these questions you have answered for me over and over again, even though you're nine hours away, and I can't thank you enough.
I'm Always There
No matter who I meet or where I go, I will always love you, and you will always be my best friend. You are my "ride or die" till the end. I will choose our Skype dates over hanging out with my new friends any day. I am always a call or text away, so when you start to miss me, just know I'm not far. I will always be there to calm you down over the phone when you're upset or need someone to vent to.
I'm Not Giving Up
Best friends go through obstacles, but I am not losing my soul sister. I will do whatever it takes to keep you. The short periods of time we see each other are just more special. Hopefully, we will one day be back together and be able to do everything we had planned. If not, we will keep pushing through. I will still come visit and walk into your house without knocking; nothing will change. You are my best friend for life.
No matter what, I love you.
