Well first there is NEVER ever a good reason to lie. Especially if the lie is about something like that. Betrayal of trust is the worst thing you can do to any relationship and now your best friend can't really feel like you can be trusted going forward. If you were willing to lie for years and years, for whatever reason, how can you be trusted not to lie about other things?

If you're going to regain the trust it is going to take a lot of serious effort, to prove you have learned from your mistake and would never do it again. The fact that even now you felt it was OK to lie for years and are only upset you got caught doesn't really count in your favor, though ...
