My first time listening, I'll definitely come back.

Hmmmm, have I done enough? Have I done my part?

goodness me. i was reading the first six lines of this piece and got scared that it was me somehow writing from another account. that is *literally* my life right now... my own yahya, our parents being friends from way back, thinking we'd get married when we were teens. but it didn't work out. i really wanted it to. i needed to read this. jazakallah khairan x1000. i did do my part. a lot of it. too much of it. unfortunately, the effort (painfully) wasn't reciprocated so it didn't end up being for me. like you said, 'thatโ€™s ok, especially if youโ€™ve done your part'. but i have hope that i'll get something better :) someday. Inshaโ€™Allah.

Awww @ thinking it was you writing it!! Fist of all, deep sigh! Second, I'm sending you a big silent understanding hug. I get it.

Wa iyyaki! Bi idhnillah your 'better' is on it's way to you! (Remember to message me to tell me when it does happen, pretty please!)
