This ebook is a small, tender constellation of love poems—direct, unguarded, and quietly expansive. Written in Santino Dela’s unmistakable voice, these pieces move between intimacy and immensity: longing and humor, devotion and distance, childhood memory and cosmic metaphor. The poems read like messages sent into the dark and answered by feeling itself—simple lines carrying enormous emotional weight.

At its core, this book is about connection in an age of separation. Screens, distance, time, and uncertainty hover in the background, but the poems keep reaching anyway: for another person, for meaning, for the warmth of being seen. There is sincerity here without irony, vulnerability without performance. It’s a reminder that tenderness can still exist plainly, without needing to justify itself.

This ebook is for readers who love short poems that feel like thoughts you didn’t know how to say out loud—romantic, strange, earnest, and human. A brief but resonant work meant to be read slowly, returned to often, and felt more than explained.
