When old friends grow apart spiritually but want to stay connected

My childhood friend has become deeply religious in a way that feels foreign to me and I've drifted toward something more mystical and we keep trying to connect over faith but it's like we're speaking different languages now. Neither of us wants to lose what we had but we're both afraid of pretending to understand something we don't.
