things i miss about my best friend

• That daily text telling me when she'll get off work

• The fact that she doesn't even tell me that I should come over--I'll be there when she gets home

• Walking into her house and hanging out with her family and dog until she gets there

• Singing loudly and badly in the car

• Snuggling on the couch. . .or in her bed. . .or my bed. . .or anywhere really
• The fact that she's always cold. . .which makes her want to snuggle more
• Watching stupid TV shows and talking about character dynamics the whole time
• Watching good TV shows and pausing it so we can talk without missing anything
• Staying up until 2 am so I have to stay the night at her house even though I didn't intend to
• Her family feeding me.  All the time.  And even telling me when they make my favorite foods so I can come over
• Her telling me that I can't have any milk because they're running out (but it's okay, because I brought my own from home since I knew this was going to happen)
• Analyzing everything about our favorite book characters
• Trying to guess what the personality types of our friends are
• Hearing (and sometimes feeling) her feet rub together as she falls asleep
• The fact that we have to write down all the things we need to talk about when we have a conversation, or else we'll forget
• Going to parties that a lot of our friends are at, but then just sitting on the couch and talking to each other the whole time
• Playing games when we're on the same team and winning by a lot just because we know each other so well
• Giving each other looks during conversations when we can't say something out loud, but knowing exactly what each other are thinking
• Visiting her at work and laughing when I see her write my nickname on my cup without me even telling her
• Planning our post-college trip to Alaska
• Her mispronounced words and mixed up sentences
• Our discussions about what books the other needs to read and how good they are
• Her random hand massages
• The fact that she can always be counted on to agree with me when I say emotions suck
• Her obvious love for the people around her--even strangers
• Her smell of coffee when she gets home from work, even though she hates it

• All the little things, all the big things, and all the things we do together. I just miss her.
