Thanks, Ange. I was wondering what was going on inside me, and I was concerned it was indifference.

I think you've identified it correctly; it's more complex than indifference.

I haven't heard back from him, and I can say that if my communication with him didn't "work", then there really is nothing further I can do. It will be a sign that his depression really "won" in our case.

I do so hope to hear from him...it will be a signal that he is willing to truly re-open our friendship. Now that would be a thing of beauty
