When long-distance friendships slowly fade despite mutual love

My closest friend from college and I used to talk every week but over the past two years it's dwindled to holiday texts and we both keep saying we should call but we don't. Now when we do talk it feels forced and I can tell we're both sad about it but neither of us knows how to get back to where we were.
