Fate and Its Sense of Humor

Today  
I was reminded of you—  
by the songs,  
and all the little things  
we once talked about,  
shared,  
that magically appeared  
and played  
in the places I happened to be.

So I asked for signs:  
Should I check on you?

And the word  
that appeared on my feed  
as I scrolled was...  
"Don't."

I scrolled again  
and came across another post—  
a line that read,  
"Pretending you didn't see anything."

As if the universe answered
with a smirk.

I laughed,  
and shook my head.  
Because even though I asked for a sign,  
I was eager to take a peek.

But then I realized:  
If you wanted to,  
you would have.

So here I am,  
trying my best not to spy.  
You hate it when I pry.  
I swear—  
I won’t cry.
