"Seducing, honest, and completely revealing." -Melanie Peyton
This is a work of poetry dedicated to those who believe in love and never stop dreaming. It is a confession of love and obsession, of a pure and innocent love. It is that emotion we sometimes fail to depict and come to terms with. It is about destiny and treasuring the experiences we have, no matter what impact they have on us. When I wrote these poems, I felt like there was someone coming through me, someone I did not know. Perhaps it was the fragile me, the one who had to be strong, because many loved ones never lived up to the word “love” in my childhood. For years, I wasn’t willing to take the risk to love. These poems are the result of that love.
