I will be here.

I promise to not stray far.

Never doubt that I would never abandon you.

I will sit right here until vines cover the walls.

I will wait for you until you are ready.

For as long as you need.

***

This was never a struggle of stubbornness.

I do not seek power or recognition.

Neither lasts in a way that gives lasting meaning.

Neither is it a trade of equality.

I give the patience to all in same measure.

This was never payment based on a receipt of good deeds.

***

I wait out of fear and a prayer for solace.

I have been waited on an uncountable amount of times.

The importance hardly lost on me.

I know that you might need the grace as much as I did.

I know the impact might not be lost on you either.

So please, know that I will be there and keep waiting for me.
