I, who ____ your best friend, will always stand by you.
Which verb should I put into this blank, " is " or "am"?
Thank you...

Personally, I would put "am". But I have no ready grammatical justification, just sounds right to me.
Hope helps,
Ian

"Am" is the correct verb to use because the non-defining relative clause modifies "I".
