"I lived and I loved" is a poetry collection of poems about living, loving, and finally moving on. Life throws itself at us when we least expect it, and that is when we realize the true potential within ourselves. From experiencing the tender moments of affection to finding ourselves in the depths of heartbreak, these poems dive into the raw emotions that define the human experience. Even after the lowest of blows, our hearts never run out of love. Living is loving. These poems are for the souls that love so much that they lose themselves, and then they realize they had to lose in order to love themselves.
