I'll support you through everything ,
Even if you didn't protect me when I needed it,
Even if you didn't care when I needed your help,
I'll be here to be here for you
And to look at you proudly
As you deploy from my life.
You'd be like a caterpillar I raised;
Once you became a butterfly,
You embraced your beauty
And learnt how to fly,
You'd leave me alone
In search of new life.
Even if I was there for you always,
You wouldn't look back twice, not even once,
You'd leave me stranded if you could,
But right now, you're just not ready to.
So leave, then come back
And leave again,
Let yourself fly away,
And find what you need.
I'll wait for your return
Everyday alone.
Or I'll watch you from far away
Observing as you flap your wings.
I'll smile proudly,
Trying to shut up the hate.
