Hey best friend!

To my dearest friend,

By some miracle or stroke of luck; between our lives in daily chaos, we found each other across oceans and shamed impossible odds.

I won’t deny it’s hard most times to know that I enjoy your presence only when my phone lights up or buzzes.

Yet I’m grateful.

To know and feel that in those moments, I am truly appreciated.
I could bask endlessly, like a lizard after a storm, in your aura that leaves me ecstatic and warm. Like the rays of a benevolent sun.

I think about all the fun we’ve had, and I can’t help but feel the world is unkind. To place my life line a thousand miles afar.

I remember our fights too. Even with hard emotions, I soon realized the truth you bring into my life. I see all the beauty in how we disagree, and how much joy and laughter it brings thereafter.

Sometimes I feel lost without you.

Dear friend,
Come, let’s do life together.
There’s no living after this one. And spending it so far away from you is little more than I can take.
A thousand strangers could never add up to you.

Love,
The soul of your best days.
