"The hardest part of moving on is letting go of the dreams we once shared."

Hey Kieran,

Today was a whirlwind of emotions, and I need to tell you all about it. Remember how I mentioned the talent show at school? Well, I made a decision—I decided to take part in it, just like we used to. I thought maybe it would help me feel closer to you, to relive those moments we shared on stage. But oh, Kieran, it only made everything more painful.

As I walked into the auditorium, the memories came flooding back—the sound of our voices blending together, the feeling of the guitar strings beneath my fingertips, the warmth of your hand in mine. I looked around, hoping against hope to see you there, ready to sing our hearts out like we used to. But you weren't there, Kieran. You weren't anywhere.

Instead, I saw you with Sofia, standing at the back of the room, watching as she practiced her dance routine. My heart sank as I realized that you weren’t here to sing with me, but to support her. I wanted to be happy for you, Kieran. I really did. But all I could feel was this overwhelming sense of loss, of betrayal.

Do you remember those times, Kieran? Do you remember how we used to sing together, rehearsing for hours until our voices were hoarse? Do you remember how it felt to share those moments with me, or was it all just a blur in your memory? I'm so confused, Kieran. I don't know what to think anymore.

To ease the pain, I picked up the guitar and started to play. The familiar chords brought back a flood of memories, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. How could something that used to bring me so much joy now only bring me pain?

And then there's Liam. He wanted to be my partner for the talent show, and I agreed. But oh, Kieran, he feels nothing like you. He’s kind and talented, but he’s not you. He doesn’t have your voice, your laugh, your smile. He doesn’t make my heart skip a beat the way you used to.

I’m happy for you, Kieran. I really am. I’m glad to see you trying new things, stepping out of your comfort zone. But at the same time, I’m so mad—at Sofia for being with you, at you for being with her, at myself for still caring so damn much.

I miss you, Kieran. I miss us. I miss the way things used to be. But I know I can't keep living in the past. I have to find a way to move forward, to find happiness again, even if it’s without you by my side.

Please take care of yourself, Kieran. I hope you’re happy, even if it’s without me.

Maeve
