Embracing Patience in Love: Saving by Alex Aiono

Love isn’t always immediate, and sometimes it’s about waiting, being patient, and trusting that the right time will come. That’s exactly what Saving by Alex Aiono speaks to—a beautiful song that resonates deeply with my own feelings of love, longing, and the hope of something more.

As I listen to Saving, I feel a connection to the lyrics, especially the lines:

"Maybe we're, oh maybe we're never to know, But baby this, oh maybe it's inevitable, Pretend until the day we're more than just friends...I'm right on the edge. I'm waiting. I can taste it. I've been saving up for you."

These words capture the feeling of waiting on the edge of something that could change everything—something that could be beautiful but uncertain. For me, it speaks to the idea of waiting for someone, patiently saving your heart for them, even when you don't know what the future holds. It's the feeling of knowing there’s something between you and this person, but the timing just hasn’t been right yet.

This song is about more than just a romantic connection—it’s about the deep emotions that come with love. It’s about holding onto love for someone even when things are unsure. It’s about staying hopeful and patient, trusting that the right moment will come. It’s about the sweet, almost innocent feeling of resisting something so powerful yet being drawn to it anyway.

There’s a beauty in saving yourself for that special person, in waiting for them to be ready, to be fully present with you. When you’ve waited for the right person, you don’t want to rush or waste the time you’ve spent growing into who you are. You want to be patient, be present, and make sure that what you’re building together is something lasting.

Saving reminds me of the power of patience in love. It isn’t about instant gratification; sometimes it’s about waiting for the right connection to blossom naturally. Even when you’re unsure of what the future holds, you keep saving that piece of your heart for the person who might one day come into your life fully.

For me, this song reflects where I am now. I’ve been waiting, patiently and with hope, for the person I love, even though I don’t know how things will unfold. The song gives me comfort and excitement, reminding me that it’s okay to be patient with someone you love. It’s okay to wait for them to be ready to fully embrace what you have to offer.

I hope that anyone reading this can take away the message that love is something to cherish and hold onto, but also something that requires patience. We often rush through emotions and relationships, expecting immediate results, but sometimes the best things in life take time. Love, whether you're in a relationship or not, is something worth waiting for.

Saving motivates me to keep writing, to express the emotions that so many of us struggle with. Writing has always been a way for me to connect with others, and this song inspires me to create more content that touches on the raw, real feelings we all face in relationships. Love may be complicated, but it’s also beautiful—and the process of patiently waiting for something real and lasting is worth every moment.
