You breeze from your car to the lamppost I’m sure and you carry on to the door as before. You see what’s ahead but alas do not see what kindness wait in the faces that pass by. As you breeze through the door of the place you intend you are not mindful of those on the side when unnoticed by you someone says hi. You respond without thinking with a hello of your own as you keep on a moving with out slowing down. The person you spoke to was trying to be noticed as kind. But you were too busy to really consider that the Hi that you tossed of was a response to someone to you was really unseen just like all the rest of the things in the place. You didn’t need them right then so why slow for a pace? That hi you tossed out to that person you passed may have shown a great light on their day at last. But then to breeze by without really slowing your pace well that all but extinguished the light with hardly a trace. For unknown to you the Hi they gave you may have been an attempt to admonish the dust that has so readily built up on their relationship card. A one last attempt before out into the night they go to never even have felt the warmth of kindness and love that is given freely and without reserve. They are the quiet ones that are almost always passed by in favor of the energetic living on the edge people you always have fun with but would never consider for a permanent mate. They are the ones that if you really got to know would be the ideal you have always carried that image of; the person who is stable, shy and timid around you. This very person, who is overlooked in the super exciting arena but is powerful and energetic in their own ways, the ones that are unseen and unheard but, when given the chance and support would move mountains and rivers all for you. Yes these are the quiet ones unseen and unheard that you auto respond as you move on out of sight with that flipped back hi that in which they so delight. But alas that delight turned quickly to pain as you were too blind to see the unseen heartbreak. Yes, you were too far because you breezed right on by. By not breaking your pace you were too far to hear the unheard unmistakable sound of a heart that had shattered one final time without even a sound. So next time my friend consider the find before you breeze by and actually stop to say Hi and consider what treasure might actually be nigh.

True in more ways than you know. I've been there and done that as the quiet and shy one.

HI,THE SHATTERED THOUGHTS BEHIND THE HI ,I RELATE TO. I HAVE BEEN THERE MANY TIMES. I AM LEARNING TO KEEP A DIM LIGHT SHINING RATHER THAN STROLL THROUGH LIFE IN THE DARK. I AM SHY, QUIET, TIMMID AND VERY SENSITIVE. YOU REACHED PRETTY DEEP BY YOUR WRITING. I HOPE MORE PEOPLE READ IT AND LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT A SIMPLE HI. A VERY SMALL WORD THAT HOLDS GREAT IMPACT. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

very nice
