"If someone can't find the time to reply to you, then they're not that into you. You deserve someone who makes the time to show you they care." © Shoshan

I can't help but feel a tidal wave of frustration. I send message after message, and all I receive in return is the echo of my own silence. How is it possible that they can't find even a minute to respond to me? Is it too much to ask for a single word of affection? My heart grows weary waiting for a sign, a gesture of love. Anxiety and sadness consume me as I come to realize that I'm not a priority for them. It's not fair! I deserve someone who doesn't just say they love me, but takes the time to show it. I deserve reciprocation, not indifference.

Messages to the wind, I send without end,
a reply I yearn for, in this sea of loneliness to contend.
How can they not find time to lend,
when in my heart they always have a friend?
Silence is cruel, relentless, and vast,
each tick-tock pulls me into the past.
A solitary echo, in their absence unfolds,
my soul that was waiting, now only beholds.
Enough of tears, enough of pain!
It's time to rise, it's time to unchain.
I deserve a love that knows how to reciprocate,
not a phantom that makes me vanish in the act of love's fate.

This quote is for you, the light that still shines in the darkness. For you, who have sought love in indifference, hope in silence, and affection in loneliness. Remember that you deserve more, you deserve true love, you deserve to be a priority, not an option. Don't settle for less, choose to love yourself before someone who doesn't value you:
