"So I will wait for you"

A popular Jamaican favourite, "So I will wait for you" by Freddie McGregor is still as much a hit as it was in the eighties as it is now. I'm assuming the song was written and produced in the eighties because, I'm an eighties baby and that's when I remember hearing it. So the song is basically speaking about a man who willingly gives up his woman because well she asked him to. The thing that makes the song so special are these two lines,

"And so I will wait for you, just as long as you want me to
Yes I'll wait for you, you'll come through"

So now I wonder, why can't this be something the male gender of our species cling to as a flag ship statement? How difficult is it really, to wait for someone who you love?

Is this not a true indication of love?

Granted, Fred does have a large dilemma facing him when he asks the question,

"Was is the way of a fools heart to agree to set you free?"

Which he then answers to so well by saying,"All I know is if our love is real you'll come back to me"

My simple conclusion is that id any of this theory of waiting is true, then you'll know who really loves you by their uncanny ability to wait on you...(unfortunately men...I'm speaking to women only...unless there are any objections)
