Dear best friend

Dear best friend--

If you were killed, I wouldn’t be at your funeral. 
I would be in jail, for killing the person who killed you.

When I am with you, I can’t help but smile. You make this life easier to laugh about, to laugh with. 

I know if I fall down, after you laugh, you’ll pick me back up. And if you can’t do that, I know
You’ll lie down beside me and point out the stars. 

Just as I would do for you. 

You have stuck beside me through every moment, every heartbreak and bad decision. 

You know I am crazy and you still choose to be seen in public with me.

You are the hottest, smartest, funniest, strongest, and most insane person I know. 

It’s not that
I can’t live without you,
It’s that
I don’t want to live without you.

I will go to the ends of the earth if you ask me to.

 If someone breaks your heart, I will break their face. Because they didn’t deserve your heart in the first place. 

When you need a shoulder to cry on, it will be mine. When you need something to smile at,
 I will do something to make you laugh. 

When you need a reminder that you are incredible and always worth it, I will always tell you so.

We can talk without speaking, if you say “I hear sirens”, I’ll say “run”.

If you text me: I’m going to do something reckless and totally stupid, try to stop me--
I will text you back: We’ll do it together, you’re too damn stubborn for me to stop you.

If you become president, I will stand there during your inauguration speech, 
And try to make you laugh in the middle of it.

I will never leave you, I will never stop loving you.

We can cause trouble in the nursing home together someday, all the nurses will hate us. 

Because

Dear best friend---

You are worth every second of pain this world puts us through, 

You are worth this life, and if you’re not in it--

Then I won’t be either.

Dear best friend--

I love you.
