When creative partnerships strain long friendships

My best friend and I started a creative project together three years ago that we were both passionate about, but now she's clearly lost interest and I'm still invested, and we keep having these awkward conversations where we both pretend everything's fine. We've been friends for fifteen years and I don't know if I should let the project die to save the friendship or push for what we originally wanted to create together.
