Why Hearts Remember

When love fades, what remains?

Why Hearts Remember is a poetic journey through the raw, beautiful, and often unbearable ways the human heart loves and survives. From the first spark of infatuation to the ashes of loss, each poem captures the echoes of connection that refuse to fade.

Through moments of tenderness, obsession, passion, and grief, Makitia Thompson explores the many lives a heart can live and the many ways it can break. These poems breathe life into what it means to love deeply, lose completely, and still choose to remember.

Each page is a mirror and a confession, for the ones still healing, the ones still hoping, and the ones who have forgotten how to.

Because even when time moves on,
the heart remembers what it was made for.

Perfect for readers of poetry that aches and heals all at once. Why Hearts Remember is an intimate reflection on love's impermanence, the scars it leaves behind, and the beauty found in remembering anyway.
