Cover art for Patient Love  lyrics by Passenger

"And though you will not wait for me, I’ll wait for you"

I think this song is really beautiful and I love it, but it also makes me a bit upset. He is waiting for this woman even though he knows that she might never return to him. And it's incredibly romantic how he's saving his special moments to share with her whenever she gets there. But why is it romantic? Why isn't it helpless and desperate, at best, misguided? Why does this man get to turn his waiting into a beautiful thing when my own wait is so painful and fruitless?

There is beauty in the act of peaceful disobedience, ain't it? After all, the only thing really in Your control (and mine) is choosing a perspective to view the facts out of. That seems not much and still it can mean the world of a difference for You.

You are right, there is beauty in the disobedience described through these lyrics: the utterly delusionary waiting out of fate, choosing the impossible option.

In the end it is not about whether Your choice is realistic or not but whether You make the right choice.
