meae deliciae, mea amica, mea vita


Explanation:
Presumably you will use these in the vocative case. Here all the vocatives are feminine, unless your friend is male, in which case the equivilent for 'my friend' will be 'mi amice', the masculine vocative singular of 'meus' being a contraction for *mee.
