"While" has a couple meanings
1) When used like this, either "he waited a while" or "it was a while before I left", "while" just means "a long time"
2) The word while can also describe an action that occurs at the same time as another action. Here are some examples
"While you ran, I ate potato chips"
"While he talks, I take the money"
"While he sleeps, I will go to the store"
This word order also works:
"He talks while I take the money"
While always comes before a verb in a sentence when used like this
