Capricorn

The friendship that has gone quiet did not end because something went wrong. It ended because you both got good at managing your own lives and forgot that some connections require active maintenance, like a garden or a skill. What you are both protecting now is your memory of when the connection felt easy, before you learned that easy and sustainable are different things. The silence between you is two people who built something good refusing to watch it turn into work, even though the work might have been worth doing.
