Most friendships goes in cycles of close/not close. I have friends I've met online and in person...and especially if it's an intense friendship (we talk to each other all the time/hang out all the time), there are periods where we take "breaks" from each other. This is normal.
Most of the breaks are triggered by small events. Maybe she gets annoyed at me, or I get annoyed at her. Just small annoyances that aren't worth getting into a fight over. But, it does trigger a "I need space" reflex.
In your case, don't take it too personally. Your friendship may have run its course naturally, or maybe in a few weeks, it will restart again. But this happens to everyone with intense friendships...not just you.
