The Lost Love
I know that's what people say, you'll get over it. I'd say it too, but I know it's not true l. Oh you will be happy again, never fear, but you won't forget. Everytime you fall in love it will be because something from the past reminds you of them. - Betty Smith I think the hardest part of losing someone isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. Always trying to fill the void. The emptiness that's left inside your heart when they go. Losing the person you loved makes you realize that love can truly be a double-edged sword. It can make us feel so uniquely connected to the world and fill our hearts so they are overflowing. It can also slash our hearts to shreds, leaving painful emotion seeping out for a long time to come. The one who was there for you loved you and did the 'Thick and thin' because they believed in you, but now they are gone. "The Lost Love" is an anthology in which different authors have put on paper why they lost their love for all life and what they can do to reawaken it within us and cultivate that to the rest of the world.
