Echo

When it becomes comfortable for another human being whom you admire to disregard your presence

Diminish your importance 

Deny your beauty

Disgrace your goodness

Discard your efforts

Overlook your kindness 

Underrate your preciousness 

Offer you nothing while you offer them all you have to give,

Seldom respond, if ever to your gestures of concern, 

Shoot down your expressions of warmth and benevolence, 

When it becomes commonplace for you to reach out yet never find them reaching back...

Then it becomes necessary for you to re-examine the total scenario:

If not for what you give, nothing else is given? 

So, if you withdraw your efforts, nothing is done?

Without your words of concern, none are expressed?

If not for the echo of your own unanswered voice, nothing is heard?

When next-to-nothing is no longer good enough;

When it becomes commonplace that you are reaching out for a human connection, only to find yourself standing in an empty room alone...

It becomes apparent that you can find no heart-to-heart bond, you may need to resolve that the other person does not care. Furthermore, you could conclude that they are unworthy of your love and devotion if they are unable or unwilling to show you a mere reflection of the same.

It becomes imperative that you sow your seeds of love and kindness elsewhere, in fertile ground, where they can be nourished and grow. 

It becomes the backdrop, the scene and the soundtrack for loving out and moving on.
