Have you ever had that one best friend?
The one with whom you can have a conversation without ever saying a word, because you are of the same mind? That one special person that you swear you were supposed to be born with, because you feel that somehow your souls were knitted together by God?
I have that person. He is, was, and will always be my best friend. He's the type of guy that will clean out my sink full of dishes for me, just because he knows how much it will mean to me. He listens to my rants and raves and tolerates my OCD like a champ. He never gets mad when for the millionth time I ask him if I locked the door. He just smiles and tells me yes, you did.
He's the one whom, after a major blow-up fight, where you don't even know why you're friends in the first place, and he storms out of your house not wanting to ever see you again, will call you up a half hour later to see what you're up to, because he missed you. And even though he doesn't like to hear about all the guys you're crushing on, he'll listen anyway and give his advice on who he thinks is the best one for you, because he wants you to be happy.
This is the best friend that you never want to see cry, because inside a part of you dies at his sadness. The best friend that will always win out, even if you're offered a date, because he's just way more fun to hang out with. The best friend who will write you a 3 paged letter to read while you are mid-flight across the country, because he knows it will comfort you while you're dealing with your fear of flying alone.
I have a best friend. He is my confidant, my partner in crime, my practice dummy in martial arts, my roommate, and one of the greatest people I know. I don't know what I have done in this life to deserve such a great friend, but it must've been something really good.
I hope you have a best friend like him too.
