<human>: As the title suggests, my friend (26F) and I (26F) haven't been speaking all that much. I care deeply about them and often worry about her but whenever I try to initiate contact with them, I'm often ignored. The last time we saw each other was months ago and even then it felt like something wasn't right. 

It seems that since we've both moved away (we're both in the same city now again) we fell away from each other but in the past few years we've made efforts to reconnect. But now it seems that I cannot get much of a conversation out of them anymore. We used to be best friends and I know that the distance put some strain but we did work our way back to a friendship.

Do you wonderful ladies have any advice on how I can go about approaching again before I feel that our friendship is lost forever? Thanks! :)

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
