Best friend Quote by Marie Coulson
““I know I can’t have you but I want you. I need you, even if it’s only as my friend. I’ll take you any way I can, even if that means settling for being one of your best friends. I will never ever bring this up again and it will never come between us. We’ll forget it all and start over brand new. Please Layla. Please forgive me.””
