Until you need me.

I did not really understand it at first because who would?

But, as the words left your mouth, I think I pieced it together,

No one is entitled to hold your presence any longer than you desire to share yourself.

And although I pride myself in being able to have held your gaze,
And that the fraction of time we spent together was memorable,
I will not hinder you with my presence any longer.

Instead, I'll watch you bloom from afar,
With the distance between us, I will be your very own cheerleader.
I will carry you in my soul, and my heart will beat for the both of us.

And as I watch you grow from afar,
I'll remember to wait until you hold my hand once more
For, until you need me once more, I will be here waiting on you.
