Day 1

Dear Best Friend -

It's funny how apt it is for me to be writing to you this way, 'cos we both know you don't exist anymore. At least not in the way you did before. But for a brief moment, you were truly the best friend I'd had in a long time. I remember how comfortable you made me feel. I'd never been truly myself until I had you for a friend. You don't know it, you probably still don't fully believe it, but you were the first person to teach me how to trust in myself, how to accept my strengths and flaws, and how to be happy. How to be just truly, awfully darn happy. You didn't even have to do anything. You were just your same old crazy, unassuming, never judgmental but also a little mean self. Your honesty made me honest with myself. And even though you're something different to me now, and though you still make me happy everyday, I will never take for granted how it all began. Just you sitting there, sharing your songs and stories and laughs, not knowing you were the friend I'd always been looking for.

Love,
Me
