The Right Ones Stay

Love Shouldn’t Be a Battle

We often hold on too tightly to people who don’t see our worth, mistaking their distance for a challenge to prove ourselves. But the truth is, love shouldn’t require a fight. The right people—the ones who truly cherish us—will choose us without hesitation, without conditions.

This poem, The Right Ones Stay, is a reminder that you never have to beg for love that is meant for you.

The Right Ones Stay

You will not have to convince them to stay,
Not have to shrink yourself just to fit their hands.
The right ones will hold you as you are,
Without asking you to be less.

You will not have to beg to be understood,
Not have to turn your softness into armor.
The right ones will meet you where you stand,
Without making you reach for their love.

And one day, you will look back,
At all the hands you tried to hold,
At all the doors you kept knocking on,
And you will finally understand—
**The right ones were never the ones who left.**

Choosing Yourself First

The greatest lesson in love is learning to stop chasing what isn’t meant for you. The Right Ones Stay reminds us that we should never have to plead, shrink, or exhaust ourselves for love that is true.
