See that? That is me and Piper. That is love. No she isn’t my girlfriend, she is my best friend. And to anyone who might say “that isn’t the kind of love we are talking about”, you’d be wrong. Because when I say she is my best friend, I’m not even getting close enough to the the real way I feel about her. Have you ever had someone that you loved so much that is physically hurt you, because you knew no matter how much you wanted to be, there was no way on earth you could be with them 24/7? Have you ever had someone mean so much to you that you wished you could protect them from all the hurt and pain the world has to offer, even if that meant taking it all on yourself? Have you ever just looked at someone and thought, I must have done something right in this world to have been offered the chance to have you in my life, let alone as my best friend. Was I ghandi in another life? Because that is what she is to me. She isn’t just a best friend, and I know because I have best friends who mean the world to me, but she means more than that. She is like a part of me I didn’t know was missing until we were put together and all of the sudden it hit me and I realized, “oh so this is what it feels like to be complete.” We aren’t together in THAT way, I’m straight and she is bi with a boyfriend, but it wouldn’t matter even if we were, because it couldn’t possibly make us any closer than we are. Sometimes we text each other obscure song lyrics in the middle of the day and get the next line right back, sometimes all we say is “hey best friend” or “I love you.” And that is the end of the conversation, because nothing else needs to be said. I moved away this year to attend Penn State, over 1000 miles away from my best friend, over 1000 miles away from a part of me. And don’t get me wrong, I love it here with all my heart and soul, but I miss her so much sometimes it hurts to breathe. That is the truest love I’ve ever known.
