This is gonna be a lot of gushing and bragging about my best friend and closest confidant cause I've been feeling down and without even realizing it she just cheered me up and put a smile on my face.

It's nice when you have a friend who loves you and cares unconditionally for you. Even though we're both awkward as and don't really know how to show it we're as close as two people can get.

We've been together since she was in second and I was in third grade. Although we grew up together it really wasn't until we found each other again in middle school that we started growing closer and closer to each other. I regret when I was in grade school that I was so shy cuz she could have been an even closer friend to me. We started in band the same year, with the same instrument: clarinet!! Then later she moved to french horn and that was around when we were friends but not close close friends. (So cheesy lol)

In middle school I took up martial arts and so did she when she followed a year after. We started hanging out and band and karate gave us things we could bond over. The next year was the best. We had our own group of friends that we could always go to, we were close, did everything together and never questioned our friendships, we were a family. At the end before I had to leave, we cried. Half cause we were sad, half cause we were happy. I wasn't sure when I would ever see her again, but I knew we'd never be far apart.

Now we're together again in high school. I was really so happy when I heard she had chosen to come to the same school as me. It meant I'd get to see her again. It was rough at the beginning, but now we are just as close as before. We spend as much time as we can together and almost every weekend at each other's houses. She's helped me through so much already and I'm still always going to be there for her.

Recently, I had the choice of going to a prestigious school, which would give me two years of college out of the way. But that meant I'd have to leave everything behind. She was the first person I told. When I broke the news to her, she stayed silent for a while. I was scared to look at her. When I finally had gathered up the courage to look at her, she was crying. I was so shocked. All this time I didn't know how much I had meant to her. She told me that she depended on me and that me leaving would mean she'd be lost. I felt so terrible. I held her while she cried and promised her I'd never leave her. I ended up not going to the school, not because of her but for some other undisclosed reasons.

Since then I became a lot happier and a lot more sure of my relationship with her. Before I had always been worried that I'd annoy her and she'd get mad, or say the wrong thing to push her away. Even after all the years with her I was still worrying about silly things like that. Now I didn't have to anymore. Cuz now I know how she feels, even if she doesn't say it.

Those occasional moments when she says she misses me or wanted to see me make me smile cause even though I know she always feels like that, it still makes me happy when she cries cause she's afraid she's gonna lose me. We don't have a romantic relationship, not even the slightest (she's perfectly happy with her own boyfriend now), but I don't have to worry about anybody else coming in between us. She's my daughter, my sister, and my wife and I'll always be there for her as a mother, a sister, as her wife. I'll be that person she can run to whenever she has no one else. I'll be that one person who can make her smile when she's feeling down. I'll always be there for her as long as she's there for me and then maybe even after that. Because I have the best friend in the world and I'm not giving her up.
