My Best Friend Will

I'm not really sure if this is meant in the story part, but I really feel I need to contribute something so here it is: I first met Will when I was around 10 years old and in Lincoln Cathedral Choir. Will and I just instantly clicked, and I knew I had found someone so unbelievably special. Will was not only talented, but extremely dynamic and had many layers to his incredible personality. From the moment we sat down together, Will and I were best friends. I told him everything, and he one hundred percent confided in me and supported me through things I was going through. Even when we went our separate ways school wise, Will and I continued to be best friends, often meeting up in Lincoln and having a nice lunch out despite his vegan habits!! Will was that one special friend that I had who was always there. We never argued, and if we did it was back to I love you forever in the space of about two minutes. I knew that he was always behind me to catch me and I always tried to be there for him. I truly believe that if it was not for this devastating and life changing happening Will would have accomplished what he set out to achieve. His expectations of himself were incredibly high, yet his talented and commitment clearly showed that he was up to any challenge. I am still unbelievably proud of my best friend for achieving so much in 15 years, and saving my life when I was in an extremely unhappy place. Through bullying, through self doubt, my best friend will was always there. He was always watching over me. He would be there at whatever time I needed him, and that I can never repay. There are so many regrets I have, but I know that he isn't holding anything against me anymore, because if he was still here I wholeheartedly believe we would have been brother and sister till the very end. Will has left an incurable gap in my soul. I believe that in life you meet people, and these people become a part of you. Will was truly a part of me and now what I have left is the wonderful memories and flashbacks that I hope to keep with me as long as I can. I feel him watching over me all the time, and this gives me great comfort. No matter where life has taken us, we will stay best friends. From the lunch dates, to the five hour phone calls to the late night film marathons to the heart to hearts, Will changed my life for the better. Will was truly too big for this world. He was just one of those people that you felt at home with. He taught me that to be yourself is the greatest thing you can be as a person, and that embracing who you are makes you an all around better person. I know he has taught many people this. I miss his smile, I miss his voice and his face and so many things but they are always with me. The mark he left on the world is always here. Will wasn't perfect, but nobody is. We must celebrate the positive, because his legacy must go on. I love you will.
