"I look at the stars and wonder if he’s looking too, remembering the nights we shared."

Hey Kieran,
Today was different, and I need to tell you about it. There's this new guy in our class, Liam. He’s nice and genuinely seems interested in getting to know me. He asked me for help with a project since I've always done well in those. I agreed, mostly because I needed the distraction, but also because part of me is hoping to feel something—anything—again.
We worked on the project together after class, and for a fleeting moment, I saw a hint of you in him. He has this kindness about him that I miss so much. He’s funny, too, but not in the way you were. He made me laugh, and it felt good, but it also felt wrong, because it wasn’t you.
As we worked, I found myself searching for similarities between you and him. The way he smiles, the way he focuses on his work. But it’s not the same. No one can ever replace you, Kieran. No one can fill the void you left in my heart. I wanted to feel something more, but all I could think about was you and how much I miss you.
When we finished up, he walked me home. It was strange, and all I could think about was how you used to do the same. We’d walk home together, laughing and talking about our day. I miss those moments more than I can say. Walking with Liam, I felt a pang of guilt for even trying to enjoy someone else’s company. It’s like my heart won’t let me move on.
I saw you in class today, sitting with Sofia again. Every time I see you with her, it’s like a fresh wound being torn open. The bench we used to share feels like a monument to a lost world, one where we were happy. Do you ever think about those days? Do you ever miss them like I do?
I wonder if you ever look at me and feel a twinge of regret. Do you ever see me and remember how we used to be? I’m trying so hard to keep going, to find some semblance of normalcy, but it’s like I’m walking through a fog, unable to see a way out.
Liam is kind, and maybe someday I’ll be able to see him as more than just a distraction, but for now, my heart is still with you. I miss you more than I can say, and it hurts so much to know that you’ve moved on while I’m still here, stuck in the past.
Every day is a struggle without you. I feel like a ghost, lingering in the shadows of our memories. My grades are slipping, my parents are worried, and I’m falling apart. I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t know how to let you go.
Please take care of yourself. I hope you’re happy, wherever you are.
