I see you watching

May bagong account na namang nang-iistalk sa akin.

I see the blank profile, the very few followers, and that familiar timing. Is it you again? I haven’t really shared my life with anyone else lately, so I can’t help but feel your presence in those silent views.

If it really is you, I’m mostly just confused. Pabiro mong sinabi sa akin dati na if you ever left, I should just move on. It was a lighthearted comment then, but I’ve been taking it to heart. I’m trying my best to follow your advice. I’m rediscovering my own rhythm, filling my days with new memories, and finally getting used to the quiet.

Pero bakit parang hindi mo ako hinahayaang gawin yun nang mag-isa?

I’m not mad, I’m just wondering why you’re still lingering in the corners of my digital life. If you’re checking in to see if I’m okay, I am. I’m doing exactly what you told me to do. But every time I see a trace of you, it feels like a tiny tether pulling me back to a version of us that we already let go of. I’m finally finding my peace, and I want that for you, too.

If you’re watching because you’re struggling to let go, or if closure is what you really want, then please, just reach out. Let’s talk properly so we can finally both be at peace and move forward, instead of staying stuck in this cycle of silent watching.
