Still Waiting

Throwing away another spent calendar
I'm tossing another slice of my heart into the wind
I'm still waiting...

I feel all I have known is the length of this wait
and all I've been doing is biding worthless time
and still waiting...

What difference has it made to me, this waste
what have I gained so far for my blind patience
and still waiting...

Oh, nine years...
Nine years
I've been waiting
and still waiting
but I don't know what for

Is it for you?

On this moon-lit beach
in this silver-soaked bay
cliffs hung over us two
Please tell me it's you

Tell me it's you...

Yes... And if it is any consolation - I have been waiting too ; )
I like the intimate way you express your thoughts.

This is a fine lament, steeped in classical 'hopelessness', the enjoyment of unrequited love. You have a deft feel for the ageless romance of this theme.
