Can I just vent that I really really REALLY do not believe in a supposed "friendship" that consists of no time together? It just doesn't work. People have all kinds of grandiose ideas about how abstract concepts can subsist on abstract fuel. Love, friendship, grief, none of them have to be material based!
Well, I'm calling bullshit. Their sources of subsistence are petty and tangible and necessary. If it's not some physical thing, then at least time, or visible effort, will be needed. This is how all these great concepts unravel--you take them for granted, justify to yourself how they don't need to be watered regularly, and turn your back on them, empty water can in hand, for one too many days.
You know how the most spoiled, fragile, delicate flowers are also the most beautiful? Pause from reading this line and think of the most exquisitely, deliciously, PAINFULLY beautiful flower you can imagine.
Now think of a cactus.
You're right, a cactus, with its super efficient needles, does not need watering at all. So go feast your eyes on a cactus. Because I'm done waiting for your water can to come back.
