>it can be really easy to lose touch I use a simple question to determine whether I've "lost touch" with someone or not: do I have a regular or semi-regular urge to talk to that person?

It feels (to me) unnatural to feel unhappy about not communicating regularly with a friend: that person is just not as close of a friend anymore.
