True Friendship

This September marks my 19th year of being best friends with Jordan. Our mothers are best friends, but I can only really remember starting to hang out with him at age 4, when we went to preschool together. He's at the other end of the country right now for school, and I miss him dearly. There is not a single day that goes by that I don't have a single thought of him and that I don't miss him. There are days I miss him more than others though, and today was one of them. For some reason, today I missed him so much that I started to cry like a baby. On days like today, I refer back to what he wrote to me one of the first few days we were apart after he left (October of last year). Even though it's personal to the both of us, I don't mind sharing it at all. I want the world to see what an amazing guy he is and how big and beautiful his heart is as well. This is what he said...

"...because it's more than a friendship. We can be ourselves around each other and respect each other effortlessly. It's easy for us to always be honest and never judgmental. It's not a relationship...it's a place in between friends and lovers that only we understand. We just get each other. It always was, always is, and always will be." 

 Jordan has been my constant in life. I honestly would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for him. He has taught me so much, and he has no idea how much he means to me. He's the only person in the entire world that knows me inside and out, and that I have such a strong connection with. Nothing is ever going to break it. Honestly, I think he's my soul mate. We're so much alike. We finish each other's sentences, and we don't even have to try. It's effortless. It's just always been that way. It's hard to find a true friend in this world, but he's mine.
