When long-distance friendships slowly drift despite good intentions

My best friend moved across the country three years ago and we both keep saying we're going to visit but neither of us ever books the ticket, and now there's this unspoken weight between us where we both know we're letting the friendship fade but we're too scared to admit we might not know how to be close anymore. We text like everything's normal but we both feel the distance growing.
