Always trying to fill the void. The emptiness that's left inside your heart when they go. Losing the person you loved makes you realize that love can truly be a double-edged sword. It can make us feel so uniquely connected to the world and fill our hearts so they are overflowing.

The one who was there for you loved you and did the 'Thick and thin' because they believed in you, but now they are gone. "The Lost Love" is an anthology in which different authors have put on paper why they lost their love for all life and what they can do to reawaken it within us and cultivate that to the rest of the world.
