So there's not much for us to talk about when we do...How do I keep her close to me even though we don't talk much? I don't want to lose her friendship or drift from not being as close because of this...I know this might sound stupid, but I would really miss her.

 Ask her to spend a little time with you, invite her out fro a drink or for something to eat. Then tell her. You don't have to be accusatory about it, or blame her in any way. All you need to tell her is that you miss her company and is there any way you can spend a bit more time together.
Friendships are not a static thing. Sometimes they die, just like 'love' relationships, they change with the passing of time. If she does not respond to your plea for more contact or does not share your concern you may have to accept that your freindship has, for now, moved on to a different level. It may get back on track if you have shared life experiences that bring you back together. But fro now, I think the most important thing you need to do is to tell her you miss her company.
Good luck.
