Unrequited Love... To love someone but you can't have them... Even if they love you back. It's one of the hardest things in life to accept.
In Loving You is a collection of 52 poems that tells the story of Eeva Lancaster's love for a man she couldn't have. It is sad and painful, as the author shares her emotional journey and bares her pain and longing in her poems. In the end, Lancaster shares her hopes too, her triumphs and beautiful self realizations, when she finally learns to overcome this challenge in her life.
Excerpt
An excerpt:
Inside of Me..
I hear the echoes of a sound so far away
I just don’t understand a single word they say...
I move closer so that I can better hear,
But when I do they always disappear…
I see the traces of a picture I have dreamed
But when I looked it isn’t what it seemed
Cause every time I made the colors flow..
I’m left with nothing but an empty show
I looked and looked and there at last I found…
A wondrous place with lots of wondrous sound,
There I have found the truth that set me free…
It wasn’t far, it’s just inside of me.
An Honest Journey through Love

This is a poignant collection of poetry. The emotions, love, betrayal, pain, rebirth, are all painted with such honesty you can’t put it down. Well, maybe to grab a tissue now and then. However, where some poetry books show only the down side of love, this shows all sides of love. The passion, the heartache, the hope, the strength, the devastation, and the metamorphosis from young, immature love to a deep, strong, abiding love-filled relationship.
The last entry, The Journey, speaks to what is imperative if you are to have a true love relationship with another individual. You have to love yourself first. Kudos on sharing your journey with us, Eeva.
