I know that I could count on you to walk me through.

Elle est ma meilleure amie. We spent the day up at her lakehouse yesterday, and I had an amazing time. Particularly memorably, we went kayaking. I was sure that I was going to tip myself over but it turned out that it wasn't that difficult; I was fine. The entire day was relaxing and laid-back, the exact sort of thing that you need after a somewhat stressing week of finals. I could trust her with my life, and I know that sort of thing is mutual. We have our ups and downs, and any one of our friends can account for our sometimes turbulent relationship. But in the end, what matters is that our bond is strengthened every time we go through a rough patch. I never want to leave her side, and it's a daunting fact that high school is now three-fourths over. Our college paths don't seem to overlap, and I know that the time I will get to see her will be cut back exponentially. Even through all that, she will still be the one who is closest to my own heart. I never want to lose her or what we have together. She's my best friend.
