Today the entire world is celebrating as your day. But for me, every single day is your day, for you’re my best friend. You walked into my life when I was a toddler. From the very first day itself you assured that I remained happy and content. You took me to a new world where words were the beads, emotions were strings with which a story was woven. You entertained me by sharing all the beautiful, magical, enchanting and exciting stories. You also ensured to inspire me every day by sharing life history of great personalities. You made me feel better whenever I was depressed by sharing a few self help tips. You taught me moral values, life lessons.
You have been my companion for seventeen years now. You have shaped my identity, improved my speaking ability and polished my writing skills. You have fed me with right food when the hunger for learning new things arose in me. Apart from stories, the other thing which I like about you are the pictures that you carry along with the stories (if not many, at least one for sure).
I chose you over people. I admire your selflessness. You never asked me how much money I had, how much property I owned. You never questioned me about my background. You never judged me on the basis of physical appearance. You never betrayed me, never made me unhappy. You never gossiped about me. You whole heartedly accepted me the way I was. You neither measured me in terms of success, nor failure. You drove away my loneliness. I would love to call you as an ideal companion of mine.
I sought after you for knowledge. You are a perfect guide. Holding you in my hands is a bliss which I cannot explain in words. There’s a saying that one should be wise enough in choosing friends. I can proudly say that I was the wisest because I chose you. You possess all the qualities that a genuine friend should have. You are a bundle of knowledge. No matter how busy I am, I always make sure that I spend some amount of time with you; and those moments are the golden moments of my life!
You are divine, pure and humble. You never disappoint the people who choose you to be their friend. You are a light in darkness, a ray of hope in crisis. On this prestigious day of yours, let more people befriend you; let the world know your importance. You enjoy your day to great extent and at this moment all that I want to say is “I love you my best friend!” You will forever be a part of my life.
