Dear you,
Happy 23rd birthday! I have a lot of things to tell you but really, I don't know where to start. Mostly, these will be series of thank you's.
Only two or three people can understand the bond that we have. And honestly, there is no easy way to explain it. I think it's because we have forgiven each other already and decided that we are better off this way. Thank you for forgiving me. I know I have put you in tremendous pain as you did to me. I know that because of me, you almost lost faith in humanity but I am glad you're okay now.
They say we usually judge people we don't know or barely know. In your case, you never judged me. You didn't judge me when we first met. You didn't judge me when we were already friends for three years. You never did in almost eight years of being together. You didn't judge me when I did wrong things. You didn't judge me when I fell in love so easily. You didn't judge me when at some point in my life I became promiscuous. You didn't judge me or hate me when I left you without even a hint of goodbye. You patiently stood there as unravel to the monster that I really am.
Thank you because I can still run to you. Thank you because I can still cry on your shoulders. Thank you because you still know how to read me when I am not saying anything. Thank you because you never choose sides. Thank you because you trust me. Thank you because I can trust you. Thank you because you believe in me. Thank you because you see the goodness in me even when I can't. Thank you for always telling me I am beautiful even when I never believe you. Thank you for listening to my rants and my stories. Thank you for being happy for me when I am happy. Thank you for hugging me when I feel alone. Thank you for being there when I almost broke down because I was betrayed by a friend. Thank you because you forgave me when we weren't able to watch a movie because I was crying and you had to make sure I was okay. Thank you because you still know how to make me calm. Thank you because you know what to do when I am having asthma attacks. Thank you for appreciating that I cleaned your room. Thank you for treating me now that you already have a job. Thank you for a lot of things but most importantly, thank you for staying.
Happy birthday again! I love you! Maybe not the same as I used to but I love you. Always have. Always will.
Your best friend,
Amaranth
