She is my beginning, she is my end..!
A best friend is someone you think you will have there forever. Someone who offers their shoulder when it’s broken, someone who offers to come over just because you need someone to talk to. Someone who bitches at you for no reason and you want to run after each other.
Someone who you can have fun with without beer and weed. Someone who you hate sometimes but in the morning shit doesn’t matter because you love her. Someone who you have been through hell and back with; someone you trust and cherish every moment, even the horrible ones with them. Someone you know if the world was ending, you would call them first.
She knows your guilty-pleasure TV shows and all the really, really stupid questions and opinions you have on worldly affairs. She is cognizant on how abysmal you are at budgeting and that you spend a week every month broke and that at least 50% of your money is spent on alcohol. She knows your favorite flavor of every single junk food and candy and that you have dinner twice every night, once at 7 p.m. and then again at 2 a.m; but also she is aware that when you attempt to cook, it’s almost always a disaster and a half..And so she has your seamless order memorized. She is apprehensive about how you look first thing in the morning, crazy hair and everything. She knows your secret racial/ethnic/religious prejudices.
She knows every graphic, gut-wrenching detail of your romantic history, from your first crush onward and probably every regrettable detail of every regrettable hookup, even the ones you yourself have tried to forget and the only one to know how much time you spend composing every text you send your crush. She comprehends your Facebook search history better than Facebook even does and knows that you force them to like your Facebook/Instagram updates as soon as they’re posted.
She really understands how you actually feel about all of your family members and know all the people you secretly hate but are nice to anyway. And, above all else, she knows that despite all of your flaws, quirks, and secrets, she loves you unconditionally and always.
For all the weird conversations and mutual understandings that no one else understand and for all the sea water and nows and oms..I love you. Twenty years from now, I am gonna look back and remember that you were that one person who could turn every frown into a smile in a few simple words; that person who lifted my head when I was losing faith in myself, that one person who carried tears on her shoulder after every fight, every break up, every death; that one person who accepted every decision I made, that one person who knew who I really was and that one person that made the biggest difference in my life…my best friend. She is my beginning, she is my end.
