Best Friend Letter - Part 1

Dear Best Friend,
You know, everyone meets new people every day…and you know these passerby’s 
very rarely affect our life…but…sometimes you’ll meet people that not only affect our 
life but change it completely.  They become friends who affect our moods, our 
habits.  People who don’t initially seem like a big deal until you see who they really 
are…and then there are these people, these friends, who become something even 
more than that. People who change our lives so much, that it seems like they’ve 
always been there.  The ones who change dynamics so much that you vaguely 
remember a time without them, or what life was like before you met them. This is 
where you fit in…normally I have a terrible memory, but the first time I met you, or 
rather the first day I spent with you I remember. Not like a memory so much, but 
more like a continuous event and in a sense that’s kind of what our friendship has 
become.  Someone I couldn’t imagine not being a part of my life, someone who 
became my best friends in such a short time. Someone who came about just in 
enough time to save me, and magically enough we instantly shared a bond that 
made us inseparable, not intentionally and not by choice…you were suddenly just 
there. Like turning on a light in pure darkness, you finally see where you are, your 
surroundings.  As cheesy as it sounds you are my light, you opened my eyes and 
finally made me see where I was, who I was, what I did and didn’t like about my 
life. The scariest part is when I met you the first day I spent with you I had that 
feeling, everything became so evident. And now what scares me even more is that…
the lights might be going out again, I might be right back in the dark. There was 
only one other person in my life who was as close a best friends that I could find for 
me, the day he left I lost my true best friend, I lost that light, and I don’t know if I 
can handle it all over again.
