LIBERUM HAS GOT IT RIGHT SO PLEASE PICK HIS ANSWER
I'm just guessing you meant to see them together, so I comply with your need.
Some may argue that the second part should be "המלאך שלי".
I chose this version as if you speak to this best friend of yours and call him/her "my angel" and in this context "an angel of mine" is somewhat more used than "the angel of mine".
