Best Friend

You.
The person I always wanted to be.
Faithful.
Friendly.
Loving and being loved.
Beautiful.
Smart.
Modest.
Strong.
You are the kind of girl every other girl wants to be.
Eyes as blue as the sky and blonde hair like golden silk.
A kind, beautiful princess.
An angel.
You see the best in everybody.
You can make everyone feel warm and loved and cared about.
Because that’s what you do, you care.
Give everyone your love and friendship whenever they need it.
And you are loved and admired in return.
Not that you’d ever ask for anything in return, you are way too selfless for that.
You are such a great person, the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet in my life.
I look up to you.
I admire you.
And you are my best friend.
I wonder; what have I done to deserve the honour of your friendship?
You are always there for me, you accept me just the way I am, with all my quirks and mistakes.
I tried to keep everyone on arms-length, but you never gave up on me.
You saw through the masks, the walls I built around myself.
And you earned my absolute, unlimited trust.
I can just be me in front of you and I know that I don’t have to be ashamed.
You respect me that way, the person I am on my innermost.
You understand me like no one else does.
You know what I mean when I am unable to speak out loud what I feel.
You are there to listen, to calm me down, to keep me sane, to hold me back when I’m about to leap without looking whenever I need it.
And I wish I could somehow pay you back what you are doing for me.
I try my best.
I try to be a good friend, a good person.
I try to be as good as you even though I never could be.
Because you are the personification of the good in a human being.
So much better than me and still you give me your friendship.
And as if that’s not already too much to ask for, you also seem to admire me sometimes.
You said once to me that you wish you could be more like me.
Don’t.
You are perfect.
You are like the bright, warm sunshine while I’m the cold, pale moonlight.
Big-hearted while I’m all brainy.
You are sympathetic and understanding while I’m socially awkward and distant.
You are an angel and I am infinitely grateful for knowing you,
having you as
my best friend.
