There are words that seem to have the power to change everything. They are not necessarily loud or pompous. On the contrary, they are simple, quiet, often short. But they are the ones that get stuck in our throats, the ones we are afraid to hear or say first.

“I love you.”

“I miss you.”

“Stay.”

“Go.”

We often remain silent because we are afraid of losing, of appearing weak, of “showing our cards.” But the deepest connections are born precisely where there is space for honest words. Not those that play a role. But those that touch the soul.

Waiting for these words is normal. Being afraid is also normal. But one day someone will say them exactly as you dreamed. And the whole world will become a little closer.
