It basically means you want to be close to your friends, because you like them, but you want to keep your enemies closer, so you can watch them and be prepared for whatever they’re planning.

This saying means that you need to be more careful with your enemies than you do with your friends. A friend out of sight should not be dangerous to you but an enemy out of sight can do you considerable damage.
