thank you for always being there for me. for always bitching about others with me. for always believing in me. for every single time we laugh, we know it's for/at the same thing. for letting me know that you would never betray me the way the rest have done. you're the only person who would pick up my call in the middle of the night when i'm crying from a nightmare. you're the only one who'd tell me that everything is going to be okay when i'm crying cause of family/money/friends.

above all that, i'm happy when i'm with you, best friend. spending time with you is different from spending time with any of them because we have this level of connection that they wouldn't understand. like when i complete your sentence, or when we totally understand what we're talking about but the rest don't.

we've been through thick and thin together, and even though at times we ourselves may fight, we know we'd pull through the fight. i'm sorry for giving others the name that rightfully belongs to you and only you. i know now that there's a reason why "best friend" should always stay singular. i can't trust others as much and as easily as i can trust you, because we know we've seen the worst of each other. and unlike them, we never judge. we'd never be a bitch towards each other. and for that, i thank you, best friend.

love,

sharifah.
