I didn't know love could feel calm.
Not empty.
Not quiet in a lonely way.
Just... safe.
Loving Lauren is a collection of deeply personal poems about what it feels like to experience real love after surviving the kind that made you question yourself.
This book lives in the space between:
what you thought love had to be
and what it finally becomes when it's right.
It is about:
being loved gently
being chosen without confusion
and realizing you were never too much,
just loved incorrectly before.
These poems are written from real moments.
Late nights. Quiet mornings.
The feeling of being held in a way that slows everything inside you down.
This is for the ones who:
have been hurt but still chose to love again
have questioned their worth because of the wrong person
have wondered if safe love would ever feel real
And especially for the ones who found it.
A love that does not confuse them.
A love that stays.
A love that finally feels like home.
