The Things That Stay

By Martin Fidanov

Some things leave.
Some things are forgotten.
But some things stay.

They stay in a mother's arms carrying you to bed.
In a father's quiet sacrifices.
In the laughter shared with a brother.
In first loves, last goodbyes, and moments we never realized would one day become memories.

The Things That Stay is a collection of poems about family, love, loss, gratitude, purpose, and the ordinary moments that shape who we become.

These poems explore what it means to hold on, to let go, and how the people we love continue to live within us long after life has changed.

Some pages will remind you of home.
Some will remind you of someone you miss.
Some may help you rediscover parts of yourself you thought you had lost.

Written with honesty, warmth, and reflection, this collection is for anyone who has loved deeply, lost something meaningful, or paused long enough to wonder where the years have gone.

Because in the end, we forget more than we remember.

But the things that truly matter stay.
