Dear Solace '

Those days when its been hours & you’ve re-read the same sentence 500 times. -____- 　

Dear best friend,

My dear you are absolutely spectacular.

Getting to know you these roughly 2.5 years has been exciting. It hasn’t always been the best, everyone has times of distance but in the last couple months I’ve found we’ve clicked more easily than we ever have.

When we hang out, it’s like we pick up right where we leave off the time before. When we talk, we can talk about anything, I know we both agree on that haha. It’s hard to be friends with girls sometime because you’re afraid if you say something then they’ll hold it against you or think why did she say that, but when we talk I know that’s not what happens. Lately we’ve been connecting on a deeper level.

We’ve had some good times that have brought us close, & recently has only brought us closer. I’ve had such an enjoyable time these past few months spending time with you. I’m able to see who you are on a different scale & we really are quite a like.

You have such an open heart, & you’re so accepting. You stand up and take a step even if it may be hard or something you don’t want to do, you do it because you know it’s the right thing to do. You bring a smile upon everyone’s face, & you’re smile gets everyone contagious. You’re so mature for your age, and you’re able to talk about anything without feeling uncomfortable or unknowledgeable. You’re so loving.

You’re just such an amazing young woman.

Saying our goodbye really hit me. When I first picked you up I treated it as though we would see each other next week because we just click, but when I drove you home I really couldn’t find the words.

& when we hugged, the feeling of knowing I wouldn’t be able to see you for much too long overwhelmed me. I didn’t want to leave, & I didn’t want to cry, but when I watched you walk to your door, all of our past memories flooded my mind as if to remind me that you won’t be too far, it won’t be too impossible to see you again.

Having a best friend move away is hard, so I can now imagine.

You’ve been there for me through my hard times. You’ve connected with me when I didn’t think anyone felt the same way, and you lifted me up when I was down. You are an incredible friend.

I love you so dearly.

I know when people move away, connection is lost so easily, but I refuse to let that happen. You’ve been so a part of my life that I don’t want things to end just because you’re across the border in a different state.

I took advantage of our time together. When we first met & started getting to know each other, who would have known that you out of anyone would move away. But when we get to see each other next, we will be able to cherish our time together because of the distance.

You are such a strong young lady that you will grow so much in this step. You’ll be able to make friends so fast because of your gentle spirit and charismatic personality.

Thank you so much for spending time with me these last few months before you go. Thank you so much for putting in the equal amount of effort into sustaining our friendship. Thank you so much for being so open with me and being there along side of me. Thank you so much for helping me grow. Thank you so much for all the fantastic memories that we’ve created together that will always be in my heart.

You’re amazing & I am so blessed to have met you when I did, to be able to grow closer with you before this time.

I pray you drive safe to Ohio, and that your new life with expand in every direction. I pray you’ll be willing to be open to make new friendships and that you will be able to grow with your new family. I pray for peace for you and a blessing over your whole family.

I love you immensely, best friend.

Be safe. xox

In three days, we have talked on the phone for 392.34 minutes. A total of 6 hours… in three days.

My favorite thing? Not one single moment has it been awkward silence.

We’ve talked from favorite animals, to relationships, to past, to mistakes, to God, to growing up, to character, to things I wouldn’t feel real talking about with anyone else.

There’s a level that we’ve unlocked that is far beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.

There is a feeling far beyond anything I’ve encountered.

The way we talk, amazes me.

When we hang up & our last words are goodnight at 1:30am, my mind cannot comprehend the connection we have.

Every day I wake up & I shake my head. Not in disbelief, but in amazement that God answered my prayer after 3 months, begging for a strong christian to walk with me, and challenge me and be there for me.

& tonight, when the words escaped your lips of how you said you want to be there for me through everything, even though you’ll be pointing me to God. I thank God that he connected our paths.

I am beyond grateful, and beyond blessed that He chose me out of all people to have met you.

I thank God every night for you, & I pray for you every night before I fall asleep, even after we pray over the phone together.

Words honestly do not comprehend what my heart feels.

When we talk, sometimes my mind drifts as I just listen to your voice. & I think to myself, how could have God blessed me with someone I don’t deserve. Someone I am unwilling to ever lose. Someone who changed my life the very second our eyes met.

I have always been able to find the words to express something, a feeling, no matter if I say I’m speechless, there’s just too many words running through my mind to decipher, but you? You’ve got me tongue tied.

& I am loving every second of getting to know you.
