make a close, lifelong friend

I am so lucky to be the best friend of one of the cleverest and kindest humans on earth, but also unlucky to have her so far away, since I moved from my home country. I miss her so much!! We talk on the phone, send mails, but it is not enough. I feel like I can never be close with anybody else than her…She really understands me, as I understand her, and we love each other so much. I feel so lonely, and depressed lately, I wish I could spend some time with a really good friend. I wish I knew there is someone for me close by, who I could call, talk and listen. And not the least, have some fun together.
