I have a lot of friends in this world that could be considered best friends. But there is one who takes the cake (cause we both love cake!) and you know that of course. Luana we've been through years and years of good stuff, fun stuff, lame stuff, and bad stuff. I don't even know what to write here to represent all of the things you have given me and what you will continue to do for me in the years to come. It is this immensely amazing feeling to know that since 8th grade you have been the person i have always counted on and for years to come i can continue to expect that from you. The girl before me wrote "i never felt comfortable asking anyone to be my best friend" and i thought that was crazy, we never ASKED for this to happen it just did. We are both pretty religious so its not totally lame for me to say this; i never asked for you but i have you and it is only by the wisdom of God that you have been sent to me and i know you feel the same.
We have finally reached it to. The scariest moment we have yet to face-separation. Yes, i went to college and left you here, and you went and got married, but this time its going to be different. I'm 20 years old and my best friend, the best friend that everyone has always wanted but i was lucky enough to get is leaving- running away to England! I know that it will be the time of your life and it will change you in wonderful ways, but i am selfishly afraid for it to happen. I know that I vow to see you all the time, but who knows what will come of it, i know that we will never drift apart so i find comfort, but one can never really stop themselves from fearing the worst.
Like i said- i never asked for you to come into my life, but i can't imagine a life without you in it. You have a beacon of love, culture, beauty, confidence, and so much more for me in these past years. I love who i am today and know that couldn't have been if i had never had you. I'm glad your name comes after mine in the Alphabet, fate put us together, but love keeps us this way, i know that no ocean, or mountain, or husband will keep us from finding each other in England. :)
I tell you all the time, but it still never feels like enough- I LOVE YOU.
You have held me while i cried, and cooked me awesome food, been the middie i always passed to in Field Hockey, the rower i always yelled at in crew, the fellow trombonist i always sat in the bleachers went, my study buddy, my tabloid, my suspected lesbian lover, my confidant, my banker, my diary, my favorite book, you have been it all for me since 8th grade! thats crazy. Crazy is the only way i can fathom the depths of this relationship. You are a godsend, i love you, you are a sister to me and i would shed my own blood for you. To know all this and still be able to sit next to you and watch a movie and not bubble over in love for you? well we got class, and we got eloquence, and we know that all those girls out there see us and want to be us.
If you were the sun, I'd gladly be mercury. Tiny and forgotten, but happy to be the planet closest to you, always revolving around you, and wanting nothing but to be left in its continuous orbit of trust.
Love forever,
Genevieve
