You are my best friend.
With you, I have my most precious memories.
So many of my firsts were with you by my side.
My first sleepover.
You had work in a few hours, but we spent
another hour of talking over sleeping at 6 AM.
My first crush.
We fangirled over our crushes
and discussed our future wedding plans.
My first heartbreak.
You were never the best texter, but you
called him a list of insults.
My first prom.
You eased my nerves during an
anticipated but unexpected promposal.
You gave so many special occasions,
so much meaning by being there for me.
You are important to me, a lifelong friend.
You have been there for so many years,
and I know you'll be there for many more.
Even if we don't share the same hobbies,
or our interests are opposite ends,
I know we'll always find a way to connect.
For that, I am forever grateful.
However, sometimes, I wonder if you hold me
as close to your heart as I hold you to mine.
I wonder if you look back upon our memories
with the same nostalgia and admiration.
I wonder if you think of me when you see
something we shared endless laughter over.
I wonder if you bring up our texts when you
have exciting news to share about your life.
I wonder if you feel the same happiness
I do when we get to see each other after months.
You are my best friend,
but am I yours?
