What Still Lingers is a raw and lyrical journey through the ache of unchosen love. In this intimate collection, the author bares the heart of an anxious soul entangled with an avoidant partner-falling deeply, waiting endlessly, and hoping desperately. The poems trace a poignant arc: from the sweetness of early love, through the silence of abandonment and the confusion of his return, to the quiet power of finally walking away. With vulnerability and grace, this collection speaks to anyone who has loved someone who couldn't stay-and found themselves in the leaving.
