Mementos of Michelangelo (Love): Before. Now. After

By Terres Michael

"I rather live in a world,
Where there's still a chance,
We could be,
Even though it's all in my head,
Than brace the reality,
Of taking a chance,
And losing you,
When you say no."

The above lines were excerpted from the main collection. This was what the poet thought at a certain point in his recount, told in lines and verses. And to be honest, most of us thought of it as well at a certain point with a crush. We were just comfortable with the daydreaming and the stories we imagined in our minds. We rather have all that even though it's a fantasy than face the reality of losing it all when we take a chance.

But how would we ever move on, how would we ever know if we don't take a chance? If we don't face reality and deal with the aftermath, the fantasy either becomes real or our worse fears come true. Either way it's better than not knowing. Better than being at a stalemate. Better than being stuck up on a fantasy.

This collection will take you on a journey of unreciprocated love, told in prose and poetry. Reading this collection will help you understand why we often wish for the things we can't have and how powerful, yet cruel, love can be. Dive into these lines and verses to explore the heartbreak and falling for someone who may never love you back. You will gain insight into the emotions that come with unrequited love and the challenges that come along with it.
