I remind you often that I have never forgotten you, that I think of you every day. From the day we first met, to the days that turned into years without seeing you. I was empty. Empty in a sense that there was no one in my life that can provide the comfort that you did. I hadn't known such a feeling existed, only when my inner most self was wanting to see you, that's when I knew you were someone of great importance to me. I wish I had the right words to explain how it feels to know you. How it feels to be your close friend. How it feels to mean something to you or share the feelings I'm overcome with when I think of you being someone of great importance to me.
It's like I was at sea for as long as I can remember and we crossed paths once before. I never expected to see you sail into my life. We were captains of our own ships, you showed me what it was like to have command over my life’s vessel. How to adjust the sails, read the tide and ride the waves. I didn’t have a direction, but you reminded me to look up at the stars and to remember how small we really are. How we shouldn’t let so much worry us because of how insignificant everything really is. A lesson so important it will be with me for life.
It’s a bittersweet thing to have to live with. To take it in stride, and hope that the positives weigh out our negatives. But if there’s anything I’ve learned from being your friend — It’s that what we do means a whole world to certain people. Not to the universe, but to the people you love the most.
So whenever I feel at my lowest, I remember that all we do for one another is so deeply appreciated. It’s true, that our lives are meaningless to the vastness of space and time. But you’re one of the most meaningful people I’ve ever met and it’s people like you that make life worth living. That make my life worth living. It makes me infinitely happy to be a part of yours.
