I would. Although, usually this would be a sign NOT to, I still think you should.
Even if you don't say anything meaningful, still send her a message, let her know you remember her. As Billy Joel said in the song of the same name... "Tell Her About It".

I have to jump on the "wave/e-mail her" bandwagon here, Cos as you don't wanna ruin something that can be salvaged.

My advice? Just do a short message saying that you're in a confusing time in your life about things relating to your relationship with her. Explain about how the lack of contact affected your perspectives but try not to make it seem like she's at fault. Be open to the point of clarification and I think this "Outi" will understand that you've hit a rough patch and just need some time to figure out how things work. Oh...and try to encouraging about future contact...having this person is probably beneficial in some way.

I agree with all the responses you've had before mine. I would definitely write to her and it doesn't have to explain anything. But if you are the one who quit writing, you will always feel bad about it. I just want to point out to you, it may have been real hard for her to have started the writing to you up again. The fact that she did, means she really didn't want the friendship to fail. If you don't, the send her anything...and often. Soon the habit of writing will get easier and you can tell her anything again.

It sound odd but if you want to talk just do it. I don't know what to say most of the time so I just say everything at once. No one has ever gotten angry and I feel better afterwards. Easiest and most honest way to get the feeling out in the open.

This same thing has happened to me, except with people I see every day. Send her something, anything, updating her on events, new likes, new people, or just talk about any damn thing you enjoy.

Send her something. If you don't know what towrite, then tell her that. It doesn't have to be a long message or anything.
If you don't do something to change the situation then you'll just keep worrying about it and it will get to you at the strangest times.
I know this kind of thing can be hard, belive me. In general, no matter how frightening it might be, it's better to have some kind of resolution.
So my advise is to write her and see what happens.

I'd say better to send a wave and be done with the worrying, myself. I've got a number of old friends from college where we'll be out of touch for upwards of a year at a time. RL tends to get in the way alot of times, and I think most people can understand that. (Plus if she was responsible for a big gap in communications, she can hardly blame you for waiting awhile as well.)

... come to think of it, it's probably time I sent a few waves out to old comrades...
