Thank you message to my best friends

When you suddenly realize how amazingly lucky you are to end up with your two favorite people Larry and Brent

My best friends Larry and Brent

I would talk and laugh

Joke and eat

But nothing more…

 

We would chat and wave

Smile and say hello

Our relationship was friends

 

 

But to those two people

Who persevered and stayed

Who helped and needed help

Who cried and helped me through tears

 

To Larry

You pestered me in 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade about Minecraft

Never giving me a moment of respite

At the time I found it mildly annoying

But it was the start to a connection that will probably last the rest of my life

 

Whether it be solving escape rooms together for your birthday, or having a picnic by the reservoir

Playing Minecraft at my house, me hosting and you trying not to lag with your little laptop

The jokes and genuine smiles we share. When we say goodbye at the start of 6^th period, after I walk you to game design, and we talk for far too long and linger to say goodbye.

The last turn of my head shows me your smile. How happy you are to talk with me. And I feel blessed.

To have a friend like that.

A true god damn friend.

Not a backstabbing c**t

I owe you so much.

 

To Brent

I met you in 6^th grade lunch.

You seemed to have a lot of achene

I assumed it was simply a personal thing

Not caused by anything accept you being you.

And genetics being genetics

‘

We talked and walked and were what you would consider a friend.

You were a friend

Not the friend

Or my friend

Just a friend

 

But high school, when we had World History together, when we had World Geography together. When relationship issues hit the both of us

When we cried back each other’s tears, when we would sit together and hug

When I decided to open up to you.

Describing how abnormal I actually am

You didn’t run or tell or freak out.

You accepted exactly who I am

 

Over the summer, when we walked all over town. When you and I walked to GameStop to get a ps3 controller

When we went to Walmart and they didn’t have it, and the bus was screwing with us.

When we got rained on walking back from LARPing with Kyson

When we got REALLY rained on after coming home from subway.

 

The adventures you had with me.

The place you hold in my heart

The support and help you’ve given me.

It all amounts to one of the greatest friends I’ve ever had

 

I love you both to the ends of this universe and back.

(No homo but I would kiss the both of you if you so desired)

Author's Note

Dont read this too critically as it includes many many MANY inside jokes that both of my best friends have. I will send this link to them for them to read.

the inside jokes are apparent but it is the humanity within this piece that gives it AND you meaning. Friends (like respect) are earned and NEED being treasured.
