With smiles and tears and all those memories over the years; with plenty of fights and those hugs on sad nights; with pointless conversations, it just goes to show … in the end I want to thank you for being my best friend.

I asked God for a flower he gave me a garden. I asked for a tree he gave me a forest. I asked for a river he gave me an ocean. I asked for a friend he gave me you.

Somehow I knew we would be friends. We’d had our fights, our ups and downs … but when the big things came along, we could work anything out. We’d fight over guys, then laugh it off because we learned it wasn’t worth it. We knew that our friendship would make it through anything. It feels like we’ve been friends forever, even though its only been a short time. But no matter what, you’ve always been there when I needed you the most, and I love you to death for it.

You are my best friend, and I love you. You were always there to love me when I didn’t even love myself. You bring out the best in me, and I thank you. Thank you for my life, thank you for your advice, your wisdom and your strength. ~ Kelly Rowland

The best memories come from the best of times, which can only come from the best of friends.

It sounds dumb and obnoxious, but it was just one of those dumb things that best friends find to be so funny.

Truly great friends are hard to find, hard to leave, and hard to forget.

We laugh our smiles and weep our tears, argue and fight and share our fears. You know the secrets of my soul and fill it’s void and make me whole.

Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end. And somewhere in the middle, we became the best of friends.

I’ll be here to help you. I’ll wipe your tears away. I’ll tell you everything is going to be all right. I’ll be the best friend you ever had, ‘cause a best friend is all you need me to be.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on the porch with, never say a word to each other, and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation of your life.

We may fight and we may cry, but my love for you will never die. I will be there until the end because you’re my best friend.

Once in a while you meet someone and soon you both discover the two of you are truly something special to each other … you share your thoughts and feel so relaxed, so openly, and right away you know your friendship is truly meant to be.

You are my other half. Without you, I’m the dance without the song. Without you, I’m a heart without a soul. Without you, I’m the words without the book. You mean so much to me. There aren’t enough words in the world to explain how much I care about you and how much I need you in my life. You are not just my best friend. You are not just like a sister. You are not just my listener. You are not just my “other half”. You are everything I could ever ask for … you are my shooting star.

I call you my best friend through the good times and the bad, whenever I loose or if I win. I know one thing that never changes and that’s you as my best friend.

Everyone hears what you say, friends listen to what you say, and best friends listen to what you don’t say.

Be your own best friend. ~ Jerrine Militello

You're the only one who really knew me at all. ~ Mariah Carey
How do you know you’ve found your best friend? When you are ready to talk to them about anything even though they know everything about you already.

It is a rare and special thing to find a friend who will remain friend forever. ~ Ruth Langdon Morgan

A best friend is a sister that destiny forgot to give you.

You just reminded me of what’s really important in life: friends, best friends. ~ Fried Green Tomatoes

If my best friend is the person I can always depend on, then my only best friend would be my mother or God.

When I’m asked what one happy thought is, I always say knowing that no matter how big the fight is … I will always have a best friend.

To lose a friend has to be the greatest pain you will ever feel. Every time I look at you, I remember that pain.

I know I’m supposed to hate you; I’ve been trying for so long. But even after everything that’s been said and done I still want to wipe away your tears, I still want you to be happy. And I still miss what I lost … I still miss my best friend.

So many people have come into my life, and I know they’ll all be going. But I’m going to be losing some of the best friends I could ever have. I don’t know how I’ll get through that.
