The Staying Power

How strong are you, truly?
Not in how hard you hit,
but in how deeply you stay.

‍

A relationship does not last because of dominance.
It lasts because of devotion.
Because one man chooses not to flee the depth of love,
but to stand in it, day after day, without armor.

‍

This is the greater courage:
to remain when running would be easier.
To embody presence not as a gift given once,
but as a vow lived always.
