"People Leave, Feelings Stay" is a collection of poems about breakups, healing, and the search for romantic love. This is a selection of poems written over years of romantic connections of varying degrees. Most of us experience breakups, yet they still feel incredibly unique and specific. When you experience a break up, the only other person in this universe that can understand the depth and meaning of the relationship is the person who is no longer in your life. This is hard, isolating, and lonely. You have to grieve a person that is still alive. The exploration of new romance is exhilarating and terrifying, and can be a beautiful addition to the journey of self-discovery. The author shares moments of her own journey through these poems.
