"I still dream of the day when he will come back to me, even though I know it's a fantasy."

Kieran,

I don't even know where to begin. I finally agreed to go out with Sarah today, hoping that maybe a change of scenery would help me feel a bit better. We went to the park, and for a moment, I thought maybe this was what I needed.

But then I saw you. You were there, with her. At first, I couldn't believe it. It hurt like hell, Kieran. It felt like the universe was mocking me, like it didn't want me to be okay.

Sarah saw you and went over to say hi. She asked if we could join you, and my heart leapt for a second, thinking maybe we could be close again, even just for a little while. But you said you were just leaving and wanted to have some "personal" time. You asked how I was doing, but you didn't even look at me.

When you left, it felt like a piece of me went with you. I wanted to tag along, to be with you like we used to. Seeing you with her, so happy and content, while I'm here breaking apart-it's unbearable. It's like everything we had means nothing now.

I'd accept your new friend if it meant I could be around you again. I'd be okay with anything, Kieran, if it meant we could hang out, laugh, and hold hands like we used to. I miss you so much, and I don't know how to handle this pain.

Did you know that a broken heart can actually cause real, physical pain? It's called broken heart syndrome. It's like my heart is literally breaking. They say when you’re truly in love, it’s the only time you can experience heaven and hell at the same time. And I guess I'm in the latter now.

Please, Kieran. Can't we go back to how things were, even just a little? I need you.

Maeve
