Dear ROCK,

Yes, you get this letter again, but not for the same reasons that I addressed this to you before. Now it’s different. I’m different. 

We talked on the phone earlier this week and I have to tell you that it really meant the world to me. I felt like the little girl I used to be. As I sat in a grassy patch on campus listening to my best friend talk to me on the phone, something inside me felt like a little girl just wanting to giggle all day long.

That little girl inside of me wished all year long. And then she got it after all the waiting and anticipation. I got my gift for the year and that was you and our friendship back.

The letter before told you how much I realized I still wanted and needed you in my life. It went on to say how stupid I was for the argument and the decisions and words that I used. And I was, but now I think it was all kind of necessary. Necessary in the fact that, you’ve always been that person who has forced me to grow up. 

If it isn’t you, then it was someone else who is also a large part of my life, but nonetheless- that fight, that argument, those hurtful words that were exchanged forced me to see so much in myself and the value of a true friendship.

You taught me humility. You taught me what regret feels like. You showed me that I make a lot of mistakes and that my words should never be taken lightly with people, especially those that matter (regardless of how well they know me and get me). You taught me so much without being around. And I think that’s why you mean so much to me. Because without you I grew, but I know with you I’m happy. With you in my life, I feel safe, sane, protected and secure. 

Just to know that you’re back to help me if I were to fall, helps me not feel like I’m so alone. Don’t get me wrong, there are a handful of people that I know would be there to catch me; but it is different when it comes to you.

You’re the one person who has probably seen me at my worst in every kind of situation (boys, love, school, friends, drunk, drama, etc.) and you still have this way of making me feel like everything will be okay. 

So trust me when I say that I’m lucky to have you back in my life. Trust me when I say that everything will be okay. Trust me when I say, I’ll always be your best friend and that we’ll always be in each other’s lives. Because I know you’d say the same thing to me, right about now.

So thank you. It’s good to have you back, Best Friend.

There’s no one else like you, ROCK.
