When close friendships drift into surface-level connection

My two closest friends from college and I used to talk every week but over the past year we've all gotten busy with our own lives and now when we do connect it feels forced and surface-level. I miss what we had but I don't know if we're all just growing apart or if there's a way back to real intimacy.
