Besties

I have a best friend, I've known him since I was 4 years old. Yeah, we're real close. We might not be always sharing secrets or hanging out forever like other besties but we always know we can trust each other, I know he will stand up for me in the most difficult situations, I know I would too. We're not like others, always sticking together like glue. I give him space, he gives me time but our bond is strong. He knows me inside out, he knows my favorite songs and I tell him about my dreams. He knows what I'm thinking, I know what's he doing even if we're a mile apart.
We're actually really similar. We think the same, we like the same books and movies. Even our grades are almost exactly the same! And our bodies, are, well, weaker. I have asthma, although I haven't had a attack for a long time. I have serious rashes sometimes and feel dizzy for no reason. He watches out for me and I watch out for him too. He has asthma as well and high blood pressure. He hardly has attacks but he faints sometimes. I have to make sure he's okay before the school nurse takes over, seriously! He can collapse any moment, in class, at choir practice, in PE, anytime, anywhere. I don't think it's a burden for me to take care of him, even when he's older than me and he's a boy. In fact, I'm pretty happy to.
He's really nice to me. Lending his jacket to me in the cold and giving me water when my bottle goes empty. How sweet. I love my best friend but I'm not gonna fall in love with him, even if I wanted to. Thank you best friend, you're the best.
