Friendship is occasional, continuous; apparent and indistinct. How do you like your coffee? Black, or diluted with milk?
Sometimes it depends on the season.
Let's examine.
The type of friendship that spans periods of blankness, when awkwardness pervades hellos and wedges distance in greeting. And then they resume, back to cuddly honeymoon periods when the time is right and a branch is extended downward. The other must make the choice to climb up, despite the steepness of the fall. Sometimes branches give the appearance of reach - a weeping willow practically begs.
And sometimes the rigidity of growth prevents a noticeable dip.
The importance of flexibility, fair saplings, always comes into play. Some may choose to actively stretch, some may languish and toughen. Though like trees, fair weather makes one more attractive. Affection in times of starkness is a far better test of friendship.
Funny that without the cluster of leaves, things become more clear.
