This is a way that I say that I need you.

I hope that one day we will be sitting in a cafe drinking coffee and look back at the good times together and be able to laugh, like we used to. Since we have taken different paths and live different lives, I hope that somehow, these two paths stay connected with every inch we travel. Two years ago, as a lonely freshman, and you as a senior, I entered high school with no one and nothing and you were preparing to exit with everything. Now, entering Junior year while you enter your freshman year at college, we have become the best of friends, even though thousands of miles are between us. We have gone through the shy times, the best times, the worst times, and the love that many other people may have, but never experience like we have. None of them can tell the stories or have the memories that we have of each other, not even the people we were with because they dont understand our friendship. It hurts me everyday to know that I have to wait to see you, or I am not able to talk to you. But I know that every time I go to sleep, its a new day and it's one day closer. I want you to take pictures of your graduation from NAPS and sit down and show them to me and share all your stories that either make you laugh or you cry. Maybe we can celebrate your 21st birthday party together, even though I am 2 1/2 years younger then you. I want to meet your girl that you think is the one. I hope that I will be invited to your wedding, to your babies first birthday, to their graduation, to your 40th birthday party, and all the little things in between. I hope we can send christmas cards to each other like little old people and keep each others numbers handy for those moments that we need each other the most. And at the moments where we slip away, I hope that we will be by each others sides. I hope you kept the little notes or tokens I gave to you, like the paper cookie I had made, or the monkey I gave you for your graduation. I hope that in the future, you remember me as the blonde girl that you thought was crazy. The blonde girl who wouldnt talk at sailing, who then wouldnt shut up after you befriended her. The freshman who threw goldfish at you, and gave you cookies every day when you got into a fight with your best friend. Me, the crazy white girl who wanted to send you sand when you left for college. The young adult who fell in love for the first time with a best friend. The one you left unspoken to for 3 months. And the friend who cares for you and has never left your side. Know that I will always be there for you, no matter how far you are, how we may fight, or how we may just loose touch. Because thats what best friends are for. I miss you.
