Close to each other (friends??)
How would you express this please?
- We're are best friends today, but by next year we'll be closer to other people that we are to each other. (is this natural and correct?)
(meaning we won't be as closer to each other as we are to others, find other friend, we will no longer be as close)
Thank you

The contraction "we're" expands to "we are" so the sentance reads "we are are". Other than that, this sentance is natural and correct. " as this will imply a less drastic change.

- If the other person is currently, literally, your 'best friend' then you can say something like.

Other than that, this sentance is natural and correct. It is very sad to assume that you will lose your "best friend."
Might I suggest: "We are good friends..." as this will imply a less drastic change.

Thank you,
Sorry I didn't mean to write "We're are"
Can you tell me if there is something wrong with the underlined. Would you not change anything to make it more natural?
We are best friends today, but by next year we'll be closer to other people that we are to each other./to one another/together.
meaning we won't be as closer to each

You cannot write "...that we are to each other..." it is "...than we are..."
What you are saying is not impossible. However, it's either very rude or sad to tell someone that you intend to go from being their 'best friend' to being closer to others. Remember that your 'best friend' is an absolute, they are the friend to whom you feel closest. How can you predict that yo

He still doesn't know which side of the elevator to use.
How hot do you want the washing machine set? (in this case you do not need to end with a preposition.)
Your reservation says that breakfast is complimentary.
