“Waiting for You”
I wait for you in every passing hour,
Longing to see you, to feel your power.
In the silence of the night, I dream of your face,
Holding your hand in a warm embrace.
Every moment without you feels like a year,
My heart whispers your name, so soft, so clear.
I wish to talk to you, to share my soul,
To tell you that with you, I feel whole.
I love you with a depth words cannot convey,
In your presence, my worries melt away.
I want to hold your hand, never let go,
Through every joy, through every woe.
I wait for you, my love, with all my heart,
Hoping soon, we'll never be apart.
In every breath, in every sigh,
It's you I love, until the day I die.”

I am waiting for the special day,
when you will say "i will stay",
I am waiting for the night,
when you will be there and everything's right,
I am waiting for that magical rain,
that will wash away the distance, sepration and pain,
I am waiting for a change,
when everything will get arranged,
I am waiting for a meeting,
when i can see you, and my heart can start beating,
I am waiting for a fight,
after which i can hold you in my arms tight,
I am waiting for a blue moon,
when we can meet and i hope it will come soon,
I am waiting for the special day,
when you will say "i will stay",”

“Waiting is a huge part of being a refugee. You're waiting at borders to get across. You're waiting for transportation. The waiting that people do in Turkey to get aboard one of these boats is incredible. And then when they finally do get aboard, it's the last place they want to be. It's harrowing. That is the horrible irony of a refugee's life. You wait and wait for the next step, and when you get to the next step, it's awful. You don't want to be doing it. But you have to. You have to keep moving forward.”
“Waiting is a large part of living. Great, passive, negative chunks of our time are consumed by waiting, from birth to death.

“Waiting is a state of mind that says we want what we don't have. Therefore, with every kind of waiting we produce an inner conflict between now and the projected future. This greatly reduces the quality of our life. Are you a 'habitual waiter'?”
“Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.”

“Waiting is a very active part of living. Waiting on God, if we do it correctly, is anything but passive. Waiting works its way out in very deliberate actions, very intentionally searching the Scriptures and praying, intense moments of humility, and self-realization of our finiteness. With the waiting comes learning. I can’t think of much I’ve learned that’s positive from the times I’ve plowed ahead without waiting on God.”

“Waiting is a wishful prayer!”
“Waiting is an act of faith.”
“Waiting is an anticipated expiation. Every pleasure is surrounded by a waiting area which expresses the fact that millions of people desire the same thing at the same time. Waiting is the neutralization of the respective desires which bear upon the same object. Even perhaps upon suffering and death. If death were a public service, there would be waiting lists. Impatience finds its justification as a refusal of this void, this abeyance of time which has no justification in any other world and which is produced by the overcrowding, the overpopulation of all desires.
Certain women dream only of winning a man. Others, though they are rarer, dream only of losing men. They have expiated their femininity in advance and the pleasure it can give them. If they have some sensual disposition, this disappears to be replaced by a more subtle game-plan. Just as thought reserves itself a sort of mental domination, with no concern to change the world, but the sole aim of abolishing it, certain women devote themselves to a sort of mental prostitution in which men, weary of tame pleasures, may play at their own ruin.”

“Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespected hands ungratefully toss aside what has so disappointed them.”

“Waiting is boring, waiting is hard, but waiting on a rainy day, finding peace with the meditative sounds of the rain, eases the pain of waiting!”
“Waiting is directed at nothing: any object that could gratify it would only efface it. Still, it is not confined to one place, it is not a resigned immobility; it has the endurance of a movement that will never end and would never promise itself the reward of rest; it does not wrap itself in interiority; all of it falls irremediably outside.”

But to wait for one's adopted uncle to come home while a greedy and violent man is upstairs was one of the worst waits the Baudelaires had ever experienced.”
“Waiting is one of life’s hardships.”
