I Can't Wait

I read an article in the New Yorker about Stevie Nicks yesterday, and I've been listening to her ever since:

Yes, I know you
Sometime she talks to him
Sometimes when she's only dreaming
Then when she wakes up
Somehow she still believes him

Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
Yes, I know you
To be continued, it's too much baby

This song encapsulates a part of what the last four years has been for me. Having gotten to know, really know, the New Englander, I felt deep inside me that he was my person.

And then so many things happened to the contrary, for so long, while I kept feeling something akin to this:

I can't wait... I can't wait
Well, I've got to know when I can see you again, now baby
I can't wait... I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait... I can't wait
Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
I can't wait... I can't wait
What can I do when I'm crazy for you

She wonders how many more hours
Her heart will feel broken
In secret she says she needs to see him
But no words are spoken

Hours? I wondered how many more years. And then finally, I let go:

She dances around in a circle
Well she's got that feeling now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on me if you want to
To be continued

And he came back. Figuratively, and very, very soon, he'll be back literally:

I can't wait... I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait... I can't wait
I got to know when I can see you again
Well, I can't wait... I can't wait
I can't wait... I can't wait
I can't wait... I can't wait
How will we feel 20 years from now

I don't know how I'll feel, but I have a pretty good guess. When he moves in, it'll be just about 7 years from the day we met. "A respectable courtship" he quipped in a recent phone call. Yes, we had stuff to work out, but we've been crazy about each other since shortly after we met, and I don't see that changing anytime soon!
