Will you wait forever?

I came across this stanza by Air Supply (don't ask why was I encountered with such verse), and it made my lethargic mind workin' its way back alive. The verse goes like this:

I will wait for you

For a thousand summers will wait for you

Til you're here beside me, til I'm holding you

And forever more sharing your love

The clock will tick away the hours one by one

And then the time will come when all the waiting's done

The time when you return and find me here and run

Straight to my waiting arms

If it takes forever

And then I went, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

Ok, you all have got to agree with me that those are corny. CORNY LINES, y'read me? I mean, yea, its nice having to hear that from your loved one. But seriously, the waiting part? How long can you wait? What, til FOREVER? Haha....C,mon, seriously.

I have to agree however, though, with what Snow Patrol had come up with in their hit, "Signal Fire":

The perfect words never crossed my mind,

'Cause there was nothing in there but you,

I felt every ounce of me screaming out,

But the sound was trapped deep in me,

All I wanted just sped right past me,

While I was rooted fast to the earth,

I could be stuck here for a thousand years,

Without your arms to drag me out,

There you are standing right in front of me,

All this fear falls away to leave me naked,

Hold me close 'cause I need you to guide me to safety.

No I won't wait forever

This is more like it - REALITY. What seems to be possible in this time, this life. The desperation, the lose of faith or hope or whatever you call it. The one by Air Supply sound like, if you don't/can't wait for whoever, they'll be gone, and you'll die!!(No offense to Air Supply and those who "dig" that song). On the other hand, the one by Snow Patrol sound like, although you hope for whoever to come or to save you or to do whatever to you, and they don't, but you move on, instead of crying a river(hmm, sounds familiar, how come? I wonder). It makes you pathetic if you do, y'know. Surviving I would call it. Not relying on whoever. It's you who'll leave. You got to show whoever that you mean business, err, I mean, serious. If whoever can't save you, someone else can. It's harsh, I know, but there's this what people call "dignity" that you shouldn't be forgetting about.

So there goes. I'm just pouring my heart out here. It's what some bloggers do here, right? If I offended anyone,.... my bad, my apologies.

Til then, cheerios~
