(The best part about being bestfriends with someone you've known since you were little is growing together and changing for the better. Sometimes change is inevitable. It's a blessing to have the same people stick by your side through all your phases)

I was trying to pin-point the thing that I like the most about you today

I thought about small things like how (ugly) you look, how you smile, how your cheeks turn red at the tiniest things, how you dress and how you act

Then my thoughts went to the big things like how you make me feel(annoyed), how you make me laugh when I'm feeling so low, how you take care of me directly or indirectly, how you try to console me, how our energies match so effortlessly, how I'm never bored even if we're silent

But I still couldn't decide and that is when I realized 

It didn't matter how you looked or dressed

It didn't matter if you cracked jokes or stayed silent 

I like the person that you are

In every state, in every way 

I like you as a whole and not just a trait or two

I like all your good parts and bad parts, all parts that make us human

I like you on your good days and your bad days

I like you on my good days and my bad days

Because there isn't anything specific that determines my fondness towards you

I like you as a whole

And even if one day you change, so much that I fail to see the old things that helped me recognise you

I will change my way of seeing things because I won't ever stop liking you 

Who knew that girl I saw at the party when my age was only about 6 or 7 would turn out to be my best friend, together through all these years 

I've known you for more than half our lives, and we have changed tremendously through all these years

So there isn't any reason for me to leave if you've decided to change again
