a letter.

Jasmine Claire Jacobs,

you changed my life, and i would never forget that.

i know you absolutely hate it when I overwrite but i don't really care right now because this is probably going to be the last time i'm going to be telling you how much i love you so shut up and read it alright.

i remember all the songs you'd force me to listen, really, i do, no matter how many times i say i hate how you're irritating the shit out of me, i remember.
i remember all the notes you'd write for me, and i keep them, i keep them in a box that holds all my precious memories. but i also keep them closed inside my heart. you matter a lot.
i remember all the phone calls we make, how stupid they are, how foolish we are, because every phone call closed whatever physical distance that tried breaking us apart.

life without you would suck. but don't take that as me not wanting you to leave. i do, i really do, because that's what you need, a change. and as your best friend, i would support you wherever you are.

so good luck in life, and i hope i'd be the only Jake you'll ever know, the Jake that'd cheer you up, the Jake that you met and will always remember since fifth grade and the Jake that is your best friend. because you mean the whole world to me, and letting you go is hard, but letting you go is the only thing to do.

if sometimes you forget who you are, if sometimes you need a little hope; something to pick you up, read this letter and you'll know i'm with you and it doesn't matter even if we're a thousand miles apart because i'll still be with you.

and really, i remember all the time we spent, happy or not, because those times just brought us closer together.

love, and forever your best friend, Jake.

-Rae
