Stay Anyway by Ann-Marie Smith

By Ann-Marie Smith

       


                                                   

We often chase the idea of perfect love—flawless, effortless, always easy. But real love? It’s far more courageous. It’s about choosing each other even when things get messy. This poem is a reflection of that truth: the quiet strength in staying, the grace in growing, and the beauty in loving through it all.


                                                    Peom Stay Anyway by Ann-Marie Smith

Love is not the absence of pain, But the courage to walk through it hand in hand. It’s not flawless smiles or perfect days, But the quiet grace of choosing to stay.

It’s the sigh after a storm, The reaching out when words fall short. It’s seeing the cracks, the doubts, the fears— And loving through the tears.

It’s the art of forgiveness, The dance of growing side by side. It’s the messy, magnificent truth That real love never hides.

So when the road gets rough, And hearts feel worn and frayed— Let your love be the reason You stay anyway.


                                                                 Closing Reflection: 

 Love isn’t about avoiding the storms—it’s about learning to dance in the rain together. Every challenge faced, every tear shed, every moment of doubt overcome… it all deepens the bond. Because when you choose to stay anyway, you’re choosing something real. Something worth holding onto.
