I'm not sure how to answer this properly.

In all honesty, it's only been a few days. But in the scheme of things, it has actually been a few weeks. Yes, we have talked a bit other than the past few days, but there seems to be a big change. The passion we felt for each other, and the longing between us culminated one evening a few weeks back, and then nothing. The pronouncements of love were made, and then this person seemed to vanish.

We have spoken a bit since then, but only small talk with my expressions of love seemingly being ignored, along with multiple questions that have gone unanswered. None of the questions are important at all, it's just that they were ignored. I felt as though something had changed, and expressed my feelings, was able to talk a bit more, and since then, not a single word.

I understand that life can be hectic at times, and I understand that this person may well just be busy. But to me, communication is very important in any relationship, and it must be two way. I continue to proclaim my love, yet I still hear no response.

And this is what I don't understand. I am able to find the time, even during a very busy day, to send a quick message of love to those I cherish. I am able to find the time to show that I care even in the most complicated of circumstances. But there is a person I have met, that has expressed an immense interest in me, and love for me, yet suddenly they can't find the time to just say, "I am thinking of you! Have a great day!".

It really is the little things that count, and small gestures like this go a long way to maintaining a loving relationship. Even in such cases as a business relationship, your boss would expect you to check in periodically to let him know how the job is going. If you do not, you won't have a job for very long. I myself am an independent contractor, and I always, without fail, let my customers know how the work is going, so that they are not left in the dark about what is going on. Communication is very important, and it will always ensure that the relationship is a good one.

I even expressed my feelings of how important communication is in the beginning of this relationship, and this person agreed whole-heartedly about it's importance. Which only leads me to more confusion. Why, if this person feels communication is so important, would they not bother to communicate, even after being reminded of it's importance, and the results of a lack of communication?
