I've often wondered how we are friends. I don't always understand what is going on in my life or why. But I know that you are the surest I am of the world. And even tho we are different we are more alike than any other one person on this planet. You are the absolute best best friend I could have.
Why are we best friends?
We're best friends because you made yesterday special. You made sure that everything went as perfect as possible and you kept me busy all day. You baked me two cakes and kept stupid people from bothering me. You had me sang to seven different times and made sure everyone knew it was the day of my birth. And when I was so happy that I literally could not stop smiling, you didn't even laugh at me.
We’re best friends because you get it. I’m not sure what that means (it’s all so vague) but whatever it is, you have it. I don’t need to explain anything to you or worry if you’ll get the joke. You already got it and are on your way to making the next one. You really make socializing a lot easier for me.
We’re best friends because you love me even when I’m terrible. It’s easy to love someone when they’re doing well, it’s easy when there’s nothing but happiness and good vibes. The real challenge comes when everything is crap. You’re not a fun person to be around, people are screening your number and you’re a total brat to everyone you come in contact with for no apparent reason. But you don’t care. Even at my most horrible bizzy moment, you’re still down to hang out and try to make me happier.
And likewise, You’re my best friend because you’re not afraid to call me out on my crap or disagree with me. I can’t get away with anything when I’m with you. You keep me in line and make sure that I am being the best me I can be. You’ll tell me things that I need to hear but everyone else is too afraid, or don't even care enough to tell me. Your honesty is so refreshing, even though it can be a bitter pill to swallow sometimes.
We’re best friends because I can take you anywhere and you’ll adapt. You come with me to all of my insufferable family gatherings, and you’ll deal with it like a champ. I don’t have to worry about leaving you alone or keeping you entertained. You go do your thing. I do mine. My family is as used to you being there as they are me.
We’re best friends because you never make me uncomfortable. I think about most of my friends and realize that they’ve made me feel weird at some point in our friendship. Whether it’s from an awkward silence or an off-color remark, I’ve felt unsure about them. Not you though. I always know that you make sense and that this makes sense.
We’re best friends because surface changes mean nothing to us. You could become a vegan who goes by Moonshadow and attends Burning Man, and I would still feel closer to you than anyone else. We don’t need common interests in order to connect. We don’t need a mutual love of music or sports or whatever to keep us together. And when we do both love something, Its usually a way random thing that I thought I was the only one who liked. And we both like it with enthusiasm.
We’re best friends because you make me feel less alone in this psycho, flaky world. It’s amazing how often you can feel disconnected from people. It’s crazy how many people can betray you, or fail to understand the words that are coming out of your mouth. But you always have understood me. When I see you, it’s a burst of reassurance that I’m not the only who looks at the world this way. There’s someone else. And that someone is you.
