Waiting Quotes

Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing.

Sometimes you gotta run away to see if somebody's gonna follow.

— I made a decision when it comes to Emma. I'm gonna back off.
— Back off?
— For the sake of the boy. Let his parents have a fair shot. Without a devilishly handsome pirate standing in the way.
— You serious?
— Yeah. I am devilishly handsome.
— Thanks, man.
— Oh, don't thank me yet. You see, I'm in this for the long haul. You've already walked out on Emma once. I'm not so sure she'll let you back in. Are you?

Ever searching for the one.

Time

I can remember how I stood waiting for you in the garden—holding all my self in my arms like a basket of flowers. It was that to me anyhow.

Your touch used to be so kind,
Your touch used to give me life.
I've waited all this time,
I've wasted so much time.
