Paloma Faith – I Just Wait (6,184 plays)

literaryjukebox:

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope

For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love

For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith

But the faith and the love are all in the waiting. 

Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: 

So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

T. S. Eliot in Four Quartets

Song: “I Just Wait” by Paloma Faith

    I am my wife’s “one true love”, and for her I’d abide myself, even. We lead each other ‘into’ each other, then once more...
