I hadn’t anyone ‘til you
I was a lonely one ‘til you
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could ever be
Someone in this wide wide world just made for me
Now I see
I had to save my love for you
(from In a Lonely Place, 1950)
I still hold on to this idea that at some point something might happen, a person might come along who will make all the waiting make sense and all the wasted time feel not so wasted. I still hope that someday I’ll feel like I’m finally on the other side of one of those time-jumps that happens in the movies, that my real life is starting up again, that there was point and purpose where I saw none, that things are happening just as they should. And when that time comes, I’ll be able to look back and feel like I’ve finally found out what the wait was about.
