@nap:@Alka:@au:"When yah" is not just two syllables that slip lightly from the lips, nor an empty sound born without meaning. It is a fragment of hope tucked between breaths, a small sign that trembles softly yet is filled with longing. In its simplicity, it holds a deeper echo, an admission that I do not yet dare to fully voice out loud.
"When yah" is the gentlest way to say, I want it too. It is not a demand, nor a complaint. It is only a soft rustle from a heart that sees something beautiful, then quietly hopes it can feel it too. Within it there is a longing that is still shy, a dream that is not yet ready to stand tall. Like dew clinging to the tip of a leaf, it sparkles for a moment before falling without a sound.
Yet behind that simplicity, a quieter question lies hidden, a question that is not always meant for anyone but myself. When is my turn? When will the universe allow me to stand in that same place, to feel a similar warmth, to embrace a happiness that seems so easy for others? "When yah" becomes a faint echo in the inner room, gently knocking on the walls of patience.
I say it, then fall silent. In that silence, I learn that not every desire is meant to be held. There are wishes that are only entrusted to be felt, not owned. There are feelings that are enough to live as a beautiful light from afar, yet need not be embraced. Like a sunset we can never truly keep, only gaze at until its colors dissolve into the dark.
I gaze from afar, not because I am afraid to come closer, but because I understand the unwritten limits. I breathe in reality, bitter and honest, letting it fill my chest until it no longer feels tight. And slowly, with steps that may still be heavy, I choose to leave—not with anger, not with regret, but with a quiet acceptance.
