a friendship song:

“you asked me earlier today what our friendship would be like now if i hadn’t moved away. I don’t know if we’d still be friends. but I do know that after losing your friendship, and gaining it back, I appreciate you now more than I ever could have. thank you for putting up with all of my crazy shit throughout the years and never giving up on me. you’re the best friend I’ll ever have.”
