A veces te llamo con el número bloqueado,
solo para escuchar tu voz unos segundos.
Tu simple hola?… y tu respiración…
Ay, como la extraño, más de lo que admito.

Sé que no debería, por cómo están las cosas,
pero no puedo evitarlo…
Te extraño.
Y no sé si tú también sientes lo mismo.

Te preguntas si soy yo la que llama así,
sin mostrar quién soy?
Te pasa por la mente que tal vez,
solo tal vez…
soy yo buscándote sin decirlo?
Para AA.

English translation:
Sometimes I call you with my number blocked,
just to hear your voice for a few seconds.
Your simple hello… and your breathing…
God, I miss it more than I admit. I know I shouldn’t, not with how things are between us, but I can’t help it. I miss you. And I wonder… do you miss me the way I miss you? Do you ever think, just for a second, that maybe that blocked call is me… still reaching for you in silence?

Te extraño,
aun cuando sé que no debería.
Quisiera correr a tus brazos,
aunque sé que no me harías espacio.
Quisiera abrazarte,
oler tu olor único que aún vive en mi memoria,
darte besos de cinco estrellas,
como los que antes te regalaba
sin pedir nada a cambio,
solo que yo tocara tus labios.

Quisiera responder tus mensajes,
tus llamadas perdidas,
solo para contarte cómo me siento,
para decirte mi verdad,
porque mi corazón no sabe mentir,
porque aún quiere entender
lo que tú nunca supiste explicar.

Quisiera volver a tu burbuja,
ver tu cara de cerca,
perderme en tus ojos lindos
como antes,
como cuando aún creía
que tú también me veías con los mismos ojos.

Pero no puedo…
porque sé que si regreso, no vas a entender.
Sé que quizás ya me olvidaste,
que quizás ni te importaría.
Y lo sé porque me has dejado en visto
tantas veces,
cuando más necesitaba ser vista.

Tu silencio me grita verdades.
Cada vez que ignoraste mis sentimientos,
me enseñaste
que lo que yo sentía
no valía mucho para ti.

Y sí,
sí quiero responderte.
Sí quiero intentar,
sí quiero que funcione.
Pero ya lo he intentado.
Más de una vez.
Y todo sigue igual.

Siempre soy yo
la que siente más,
la que cuida más.
Y tú…
tú das lo mínimo.

Yo me preocupo por ti,
por lo que piensas,
por cómo estás.
Pero tú no haces lo mismo por mí.

Todo ha sido
una historia a medias.
Y yo ya no quiero seguir
siendo invisible
en algo que se supone
que era para dos.
Para AA.

English translation:
I miss you, even when I know I shouldn’t. I wish I could run to your arms, even though I know you wouldn’t make space for me. I wish I could hug you, smell your unique scent that still lives in my memory, give you five star kisses, like the ones I used to gift you without asking for anything in return, only that I could touch your lips. I wish I could reply to your messages, your missed calls, just to tell you how I feel, to tell you my truth, because my heart doesn’t know how to lie, because it still wants to understand what you never knew how to explain. I wish I could go back into your bubble, see your face up close, get lost in your pretty eyes like before, like when I still believed that you also looked at me with the same eyes. But I can’t… because I know that if I go back, you won’t understand. I know that maybe you already forgot me, that maybe you wouldn’t even care. And I know that because you’ve left me on seen so many times, when I most needed to be seen. Your silence screams truths at me. Every time you ignored my feelings, you taught me that what I felt didn’t mean much to you. And yes, yes I want to reply to you. Yes, I want to try. Yes, I want it to work. But I’ve already tried. More than once. And everything stays the same. It’s always me, the one who feels more, the one who cares more. And you… you give the bare minimum. I care about you, about what you think, about how you’re doing. But you don’t do the same for me. It’s all been a half story. And I don’t want to keep being invisible in something that was supposed to be for two.

I see his messages.
I see him reaching out again.
I’m tempted to fall back again.
And I miss him.
Even though I know I shouldn’t.
But this time…
It wasn’t hope.
It was a reminder.
A reminder that I need to let him go.
We’re stuck in a limbo that never changes.
He doesn’t care, not really.
And I shouldn’t either… even if part of me still does.
These feelings for him still linger
Soft, stubborn, and cruel.
But this distance… this silence…
It’s not punishment.
It’s healing.
It’s how I free myself.
No contact isn’t easy
But it’s the only thing that will finally let me breathe again.
For AA.

El momento en que supe lo que sentía por ti,
no fue ruidoso, no fue repentino,
solo un gesto silencioso hacia los papelitos
que dejaste atrás.

Pequeños cuadros con tu letra apurada,
dejados sobre el mostrador,
pegados en monitores.
Usa esto si se te olvida, dijiste,
dimensiones anotadas para que yo recordara.

Pequeños cuadros de guía silenciosa
mientras yo aún aprendía el ritmo,
aún con algo de nervios.
Tus notas visibles,
justo cuando más las necesitaba.

No tenías que escribirlas,
pero lo hiciste.
Cada una fue un gesto pequeño
que solo yo noté.
De entre todas las personas,
me elegiste a mí para ayudar,
a tu manera callada.

Pero para mí, fueron todo.
Comencé a guardarlas
como cartas de amor disfrazadas
en tinta de oficina.

Recordatorios de que alguna vez
estuviste lo suficientemente cerca
como para dejar huellas.

Ya pasó un año.
El trabajo cambió.
Tú cambiaste.
Yo cambié.
Pero las notas…
todavía están guardadas
en mi caja de recuerdos.
Esquinas suaves por el tiempo,
la tinta desvaneciéndose,
pero no el sentimiento.

Tal vez las guardé
porque una parte de mí
todavía te guarda a ti.
Incluso en tus gestos más pequeños,
dejaste una marca.
Y nunca he sido buena
para soltar lo que alguna vez
se sintió real.
Para AA.

I kissed you when I shouldn’t have
I cared when I knew it’d just hurt back
I think of you more than I should
Still hoping one day you’d be good

I gave too many chances it’s true
Each one hoping you’d come through
But you deflect ignore and run
Especially when I’m not just fun

You go quiet when I get real
You don’t respond to how I feel
And I keep loving even still
Even though it breaks my will

You send a heart a hey a snap
But where were you when I felt trapped
When I sent that sad face you stayed cold
Like my emotions just got old

I’m always tempted to reply
Give it one more shot just one more try
But what’s the point you’ve shown your side
You push me out when I confide

What do I expect at this stage
From someone who keeps acting the same
If you could ignore me once you’ll do it again
And I’ll be left picking up pain

Different day same old game
Same silence same unanswered name
And yet my heart still feels the pull
Still hopes you’ll change still feels full

But deep down I know the truth I fear
When someone shows you believe it clear
If you wanted to you would’ve stayed
We wouldn’t be here love wouldn’t fade

Yes I miss you more than you know
But I’ve had enough it’s time to let go
I wanted forever but you only showed up
when you were bored
And that’s not love I can afford

So this is goodbye not with hate but with grace
I just need peace not this endless chase
I still care but I care for me more
You lost my heart I’m closing that door
For AA.
Yes, I see the message. It’s the typical hey, along with a heart. Same old texts, same cycle, nothing changes. You’ll still be the same.
This time, I’m not going back.

I sent a sad face,
he sent nothing.
Eight hours of silence
and a filtered selfie
as if my feelings
were too inconvenient
to be acknowledged.

He didn’t ask what was wrong.
He never really did.
He liked the softness,
but never the substance.

He liked being wanted,
but never wanted to show up.
Not when I was vulnerable,
not when I was hurting,
not when I needed more
than a snap of his bed
or a half laugh in my face.

I gave chances in silence,
forgiveness without apology.
I held space where he gave absence.
And still, I stayed.
Until staying
started to hurt more
than the leaving ever could.

So I didn’t block him.
I didn’t scream.
I didn’t write a final message.
I just disappeared
the way he always did
when it was my turn to speak.

Let him wonder
why the snaps stopped.
Let him feel the stillness
he used to ignore.

Let him stare at the pending
and realize I’m not.
Not waiting.
Not hoping.
Not folding back into someone
who forgot how to hold me.

I may not have closure,
but I have clarity.

And if silence is the only language
he ever taught me,
then let him hear it
loud and clear.
For AA.

Finally choosing myself, had to let him go this time. No going back even though it’s not easy and it hurts.

La palabra te extraño no es suficiente para expresar la falta que me haces todos los días.
Así de simple. Te extraño.
Para AA.
