Letters to What Was is a collection of poetry about the quiet ache of loving someone who couldn't stay. Through poems on distance, heartbreak, and the beauty of letting go, Willow Rena captures the bittersweet lessons hidden in what wasn't meant to be. Written like letters never sent, these poems may speak to anyone who's ever held on too long, felt invisible in love, or found strength in walking away.
