"I’m trapped in a maze of memories, searching for a way out but finding only dead ends."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Kieran,
I don't even know where to begin. These past few days have been... a rollercoaster, to say the least. Every time I close my eyes, all I can see is you—standing there at my doorstep, like a stranger in the night, like someone I barely even know. It's like the Kieran I used to know, the one who would stay up with me all night to chase away the nightmares, the one who would always be there for me no matter what, is gone. And in his place... there's just emptiness.
Do you remember those nights, Kieran? The nights when I would call you, tears streaming down my face, unable to sleep because of the nightmares that haunted me? Do you remember how you would always answer, no matter what time it was, and how you would say the most soothing words to calm me down? How you would stay on the phone with me until I fell asleep, your voice the only thing keeping the darkness at bay?
I miss those nights, Kieran. I miss having you there, by my side, even when we were miles apart. But now... now it feels like those moments were just an illusion, a trick of the mind. How could someone change so drastically in just a few months, Kieran? How could the person I thought I knew so well turn into a stranger right before my eyes?
I'm scared, Kieran. I'm scared that those nightmares might come back, that I might need to face them alone this time, without you there to hold my hand and chase away the monsters under my bed. But I know that I need to move on, that I can't keep holding on to the past, to a version of you that no longer exists.
Liam is good, Kieran. He's... he's not you, but he's trying, and that's all I can ask for right now. Maybe, just maybe, I can finally try to focus a little on my studies, now that I've accepted that things can never be the way they were between us.
But it still hurts, Kieran. It hurts more than words can say, to see you at school every day, to know that the person I once trusted with my whole heart is now just a stranger passing me in the hallway. It's like living in a nightmare, a nightmare that I can't wake up from, no matter how hard I try.
I don't know what the future holds for us, Kieran. I don't know if we'll ever be able to go back to the way things were, or if we'll even be able to be friends again. But I do know one thing: I need to let go of the past, of the memories that hold me back, and focus on building a future for myself, one step at a time.
Take care,
Maeve
