Today someone told me the most meaningful thing I ever heard in my life. That I was their miracle, that I helped them open up and that I was their lifeline. When I heard this, I had no words to explain the feeling I had, only tears. Tears I've never shed before. Those words put so much meaning in my life in that instant. Who would've known that two little awkward 10 year old girls meeting in 5th grade would develop such a friendship that no one could ever touch? I can't even explain the bond I have with this girl. Everyday it baffles me.
Just as much as you think I've done for you, you've done for me. I wouldn't be here without you. I'd be so misguided, lost, maybe even dead. You're always there to awaken me.
I remember one day I asked you if you could ever see us not being friends. You only confirmed the same feelings I had. No. It made me feel not so crazy thinking our friendship would never dissolve.
I can't wait for tomorrow with you, and the next day. Next month, next year, decades from now. When we're old ladies remeniscing about our youth. Until time runs out. You are my other half.
When I think of all the best times in my life, it's not surprising that most of them were with you. All our inside jokes, "you fuck you", "bind children's teeth", "I didn't know I couldn't do that", "DDK", "Fatback", "Slam", "Ober there gargagr aeroplane", prank calling a guy in a band at his house, all our silly fights, screaming at each other about plastic cups and scaring everyone in our dorm, throwing my clock purse at you cause I didn't want to go to class that day, (you seem to be the only person that can put up with my unreasonable temper), all our adventures together, flying to California for one concert with a 31 year old woman we met on a train, (we're the most sporadic and random people), that one time last March when we tried to have a barbecue with three matches, wet charcoal on a very windy day, being extras in a music video, you making me listening to your "shitty" music and me secretly liking it, eating vegetarian tacos on the beach, sneaking on the beach without paying, cutting school and listening to your "dark spooning cd", sitting in my room when we were like 14 chain smoking cause we thought we were cool, running over a seemingly dead body on our way back from Hershey, PA, you hitting a Mariah Carey note and me laughing for 15 minutes about it cause we were so tired, dropping out of college together, garbage picking for the garage sales we'd never have, making hot ass club beats with you drumming on the alien movie trilogy set and me plucking at a diet coke can in my car, our seemingly far fetched plans that we'll probably make happen cause we've done it before, living off the land, selling my knitted scarves and your psychic abilities, opening "Shit Happens" in nyc, don't forget "Fudgetaboutit", going to Africa to help out, consoling each other about our screwed up families, losses, and relationship problems. I could go on and on about all the memories. I will always cherish them and remember.
No matter how difficult you get and no matter how many times I tell you I'm gonna come to your house and kick your ass (lmao), it will never be enough to break what we have.
I feel so blessed and privelaged to know a dynamic person like you. You're a rarity.
And yes, Melanie, I love you more than bunnies.
