It's Like I've Waited My Whole Life Novels & Stories

Something in my chest was breaking open. "I don't know how to let people in," I said. "I don't know how to trust. I don't know how to—" "Let me show you." His voice was soft. "One step at a time." I shook my head. "I'm not ready." "I know." "Then why are you still here?" "Because I've been waiting for fifteen years." His eyes met mine. "I can wait a little longer." ---

“My name’s Dave. I’m nine. I think we might know someone you’ve been waiting for.” Eleanor Whitfield turned her head slowly, her eyes moving from Dave to the photograph on the table, and back again, something flickering behind them, sharp and sudden, the particular alertness of someone who had spent fifty years half expecting, against all reason, that one day, someone would finally come. “Waiting,” she said softly, her voice thin but steady. “I’ve been waiting my whole life, young man. Nobody’s ever said that word to me before. Not once. Not in fifty years.”

I hung up and looked out the window again. The city bowed at my feet. The world waited to be conquered. Four years of pain and waiting. All for this. It was worth it.

He smiled, and it was the saddest thing I'd ever seen. "That's okay, I'll wait.I've been waiting my whole life for you, I can wait a little longer."

I am supposed to just wait. Until the day I finally find my link but I don't believe it will ever happen. At first, I used to believe in it and I was so hopeful and excited to finally find my soul mate but after so many years and so many girls. I have given up and I don't want to wait for the universe to tell me that I am supposed to end up alone. ''We are not staying for long. You can just stay in the car while I do what I need to''

EVE'S POV:- "Your tears are not going to do anything? They will not extinguish the fire that is burning my soul for thousands of years. Do you hear me? I had spent thousands of years in hell. I did not even remember what I had been through. Do you know how it feels to just keep waiting for someone for thousands of years and one day you are told that it's just an illusion. That no one is coming. That you have been waiting for nothing." I yelled at Hayden. He was crying like a mad man. He looked up at me after a minute.

I’m a grown who has grown needs and desires. My heart is beating a thousand times faster. I feel like it’s going to explode any moment if I don’t see them anywhere. I had been waiting in the airport for someone to pick me up, searching for any sign of the guys, but nothing. It’s been over thirty minutes and still I can’t see a trace of them.

That broke me. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The world around us blurred; the ticking clock, the faint hum of the wind outside, everything felt far away. I swallowed hard, blinking rapidly, but the tears still burned their way out anyway. “I waited for you,” I said, my voice cracking. “Do you have any idea what that felt like? Waiting every single day, wondering if you’d come back the same, hoping you’d still be the man who once said he couldn’t breathe without me?”

“street where the wind resides.” In fact, the wind had never existed there, nor even remained. It just passed when we were young. And it took us the time of our Youth. It just came out like that, after the wind. While I was still there waiting, but the wind had already disappeared. I waited there for myself, 9 long years. Back in my teens when I believed in love. And that today it's all just a big joke. I had loved the wrong person this whole time. My life was one big joke.

I paused for a while. “I searched for you for years. And finding you was a dream come true. No one else could make me feel like you do. Even if we are not in a romantic relationship, you make me the happiest man on earth. With just your smile and your jokes, which I don’t understand all the time, but still laugh…” I caught her cracking a smile, finally after all those tears. “What the Goddess gave me was a miracle. You are my miracle. And if I need to wait forever for you to decide to be mine, then it’s fine with me. I’ll wait. Because I would rather spend a moment with you and be happy than spend my whole life with somebody else and be miserable.”
