my dearest shelby metcalf:

you are my best friend.

we've been friends for..what? almost 18 years now.

it's crazy.

of course we have had our rough times,

&& our tiffy's,

but what best friends dont??

you're there for me.

no matter what.

you don't judge me,

on the bad things i have done.

you understand me.

you address a problem when you have one with me.

you don't talk bad about me behind my back.

you care.

you listen.

you cry when i cry.

when we were little,

every card we ever wrote to each other said,

"if friends were flowers,

i'd pick you."

on the front of it.

&& really.

i've never had the opportunity

to share as much as with someone as i've shared with you.

i keep getting proved every single day

that there isn't anyone else out there better

to have as a best friend.

nobody gets me

like you do.

&& lately, i've been sad because i've lost trust.

in friends i thought were my best.

but i keep my chin up,

because i'll always have you.

can't wait for the scooter granny times.

bring it on, baby.

thank you for being there.

sorry for the cheesiness.

&& i can't wait til summer.

to spend all my free-time ever with you.

i love you, besty.

♥ xoxo
