So someone's love has gone off on a long and dangerous journey: to sea, to war, to find their meaning, to make their fortune, something along those lines. She promises to wait for him, right where she is, until he returns. How long could it be, right? Soon they'll be reunited and all will be well. Only not so much. Years pass and he doesn't return. Most people would have given up by this point, assuming that something has happened to their loved one and he's never going to come back. But not this woman. She's going to wait right here for the rest of her life, if necessary, because she really believes he's coming back for her someday. ...Even though most of the time, he really is dead. This still will often not stop her. She said she'll wait forever for him, and she meant it. Hundreds of years later, a woman-shaped rock can be seen in that spot, waiting for her love to return to her. If she knows that he is dead, The Mourning After may ensue. Or even if she believes it — sometimes other characters think that claiming it will shake her resolve. When the hero is being faithful, the Standard Hero Reward can lead to some very difficult to wiggle out of scenes — But Thou Must!! If she is coerced into marrying, it's You Have Waited Long Enough — whereupon her true love will show up in time to save her from the wedding. If this trope follows a breakup, you have Love Will Lead You Back. If he does return, and she realizes she no longer loved him, it turns to Old Flame Fizzle. People often assume this character will have to be a female (or a loyal dog), but this is not true: one of the most famous in cinema history is a man who is willing to wait decades. See also My Girl Back Home, My Girl Is Not a Slut, The Slow Path. When the waiting is forced (either by an individual or a social custom), it may overlap with Property of Love. Compare I Will Find You for when the speaker plans to take a more proactive stance. Also see Reunion Vow. Contrast Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder and Taking the Veil, a common historical alternative. |

In Aquaman (2018), when she is forced to return home, Atlanna promises to reunite with Thomas Curry and to meet him at the docks at sunrise. Thomas does just that, going to the docks every sunrise, expecting Atlanna. She had been gone for more than twenty years. His patience finally pays off in the ending. | |

A Very Long Engagement has the heroine convinced that her lover is alive despite everyone else insisting that his chances of surviving a bombing during the war are nil. In the end, it turns out that he is alive, one of the rare instances of this trope where the woman's fidelity is fully rewarded. True, the man is said to suffer from memory loss of the war and his relationship with the heroine, but it's implied that they will be happy together once again. | |

A variation of this is used in The World Ends with You. Shiki (having been allowed to come back to life) promises to wait every day for Neku by Hachiko until he comes back, and holding Mr. Mew so that he'll recognise her. Shiki never gets to do this though, because she's then (unknowingly to her) made Neku's entry fee for the next weeknote The actual reason is that the Composer can't revive people, so he came up with the excuse to avoid drawing attention.. The sequel NEO: The World Ends with You does the same thing with the same characters: Shiki waits every day at the Hachiko statue for 3 years since Neku's disappearance following A New Day, and eventually both reunite. |

In Tokyo Ghoul, most assume Kaneki is dead at the end of the first manga series, but Touka states that she has faith in him and that he will return to Anteiku one day. This leads her to set up the coffee shop :Re with the intentions of it being a place Kaneki can come home to. It turns out that she is right, and Kaneki does return to her, although it's as an entirely different person, with no memories of his life as Kaneki or of her. Seeing him seemingly living a happy life, she decides that it is best that he does not recall his troubled past, and makes no effort to try and restore his memories. Even so, she continues to wait for him, stating that in the event that he remembers everything again, he will always be welcome at :Re. | |

There are hints of this in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. When Link ends up Only Mostly Dead in battle against corrupted Guardians, Zelda, who by this point has fallen in love with the chosen wielder of the Master Sword and her appointed bodyguard, has him put in the Shrine of Resurrection to heal over the course of a century so he can once again battle Calamity Ganon. Meanwhile, she uses her sealing magic to trap Ganon in Hyrule Castle to buy Link that time. It's downplayed because both of them were in physical and mental stasis (though Zelda was sporadically conscious so she could fight Ganon and check on Link) the whole time, so the wait didn't feel quite as long to either. There's also Mipha, who waited a century for Link to free her spirit from Divine Beast Vah Ruta. | |

The Young Diana: When Diana was a young woman, she was engaged to an officer whose regiment was reassigned to India. He promised he'd send for her as soon as money allowed. Diana waited faithfully for seven years. When the officer finally came into his fortune, he immediately broke off his engagement to Diana so he could marry a younger and prettier woman, resulting in Diana's status as an Old Maid. | |

Done significantly darker in Ryuukishi's other work, Umineko: When They Cry, as it is one of the many causes of the tragedy. Sayo Yasuda, also known as Shannon, a young servant in the Rokkenjima island's mansion, falls in love with Battler. He promises to come and take Shannon out of the island the next year so that she can start a new life, but due to problems in his family, he seems like he won't come back. After three years of vainly waiting, Shannon tries to find love with George, Battler's cousin. Then, through Kanon, a male persona Sayo Yasuda created as one of her coping mechanisms, she starts to fall in love with her childhood friend Jessica, Battler's other cousin, who lives on the island. So after six years, Sayo Yasuda is engaged in three separate relationships: the "Shannon" persona is with George, the "Kanon" persona loves Jessica, and deep down a part of her (represented by the "Beatrice" persona) is still waiting for Battler. And just as George is about to propose to Shannon, she learns of Battler's return; by that time she is already broken and suicidal, but his return is the final nail in the coffin that leads her to decide to blow up the island so that she can create her ideal imaginary world. The complex set of reasons that led to this is better explained here. | |

The Simpsons: Played for laughs in "Homerpalooza". When Homer is having stomach issues, he's sent to a veterinarian, who warns him if he takes another hit from a cannonball, he will die, he shrugs it off and asks "Got any messages for Jimi Hendrix?", to which the vet unironically answers: "Yes: 'Pick up your puppy.'", and we pan to a dog named Rover Hendrix sitting on a bed (as a Stealth Pun about the Hendrix song "Fire" and its line "Move over, Rover, and let Jimmy take over."). | |

Downplayed in another Miraculous Ladybug fic, Something in the Night. Adrien waited at the park for Ladybug for weeks after their scheduled meeting fell through (Marinette was stuck in traffic on the other side of Paris, and she had to catch a flight that afternoon), and he comes back a number of times over the next few years around the anniversary of Hawkmoth's defeat. Marinette herself hangs around the park a few times when she's back in Paris, but they never see each other. It's not until seven years later, two years after Adrien had stopped waiting, that they run into each other again. | |

Tales Series: In Tales of Phantasia, Klarth's assistant Mirald promises to wait as long as necessary for his return. Up until that point, it had been implied that he wasn't fully aware she loved him (or even that he loved her, depending on how you interpret the character). Made all the more poignant because he learns this in a vision after the party has traveled to the future to confront the Big Bad. Meaning that in this timeline, she is long dead, having presumably waited her whole life for him. If you beat the game, he does indeed return. In a different variant, Arche makes this promise to Chester, when she returns to the past. Particularly unfair, as she has to wait a hundred years to see him again, but since time travel is involved, he only has to wait until she shows up looking for him, or until he finds her. Tales of the Abyss: "Come home! You have to come home... you have to! I'll be waiting... always..." Tear to Luke at the end just before he Disappears into Light. The Gainax Ending leaves in question whether or not it is Luke who returned. Deconstructed in Tales of Graces. After seven years of waiting for Asbel after the prologue, Cheria is... rather bitter by the time the main game starts. Asbel being Oblivious to Love doesn't help though once they get around to talking it works out. Tales of Zestiria has Mikleo waiting for Sorey after the final battle for a very long time. After several hundred years of waiting, Sorey does end up returning back to Mikleo. |

In Mademoiselle Butterfly, Butterfly sends Chinatsu off to war with the hope that he'll eventually return, taking care of their twins in the process. When she's told he's dead, Butterfly doesn't take another spouse, which makes the happy ending even better once Chinatsu comes back home. | |

When They Cry: Shion Sonozaki, of Higurashi: When They Cry, does this with Satoshi. At the end of Matsuribayashi-hen, she finds that Satoshi has been kept in the research facilities underneath the Irie Clinic for a year. His Hinamizawa Syndrome has reached such a level that he feels immense paranoia about anything he sees, and will claw out his throat if unbound. Thus, he's been kept asleep until Irie could find a cure for the disease. She then promises to continue doing this until he gets better, and to help him through his recovery any way she could. Done significantly darker in Ryuukishi's other work, Umineko: When They Cry, as it is one of the many causes of the tragedy. Sayo Yasuda, also known as Shannon, a young servant in the Rokkenjima island's mansion, falls in love with Battler. He promises to come and take Shannon out of the island the next year so that she can start a new life, but due to problems in his family, he seems like he won't come back. After three years of vainly waiting, Shannon tries to find love with George, Battler's cousin. Then, through Kanon, a male persona Sayo Yasuda created as one of her coping mechanisms, she starts to fall in love with her childhood friend Jessica, Battler's other cousin, who lives on the island. So after six years, Sayo Yasuda is engaged in three separate relationships: the "Shannon" persona is with George, the "Kanon" persona loves Jessica, and deep down a part of her (represented by the "Beatrice" persona) is still waiting for Battler. And just as George is about to propose to Shannon, she learns of Battler's return; by that time she is already broken and suicidal, but his return is the final nail in the coffin that leads her to decide to blow up the island so that she can create her ideal imaginary world. The complex set of reasons that led to this is better explained here. |

Another example happened in a Battle Frontier episode, where May meets an old woman at a run-down train station waiting for her husband to return. The woman's granddaughter reveals that her husband wanted to leave to become a Pokemon Doctor, but she didn't want to leave because she was pregnant. She wanted to tell him before he left but was unable to catch up to him. Her husband died in an accident a year later, but she didn't believe it and continued to wait for him at the train station every day for many years. | |

Forever Falls by Casey Lee Williams and Jeff Williams is basically that for both Jaune and Pyrrha from RWBY. The lyrics states Nothing, even death, could separate our souls. With Pyrrha's death and Jaune not invested in any kind of romance after that, the song certainly implies their feelings won't change. | |

Role reversal in Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit. Tanda has been waiting for years for Balsa to fulfill her vow to save the lives of eight people so they can settle down and get married. Then, in the end, she decides to return to her hometown for a while, and he ends up waiting again. Tanda is a very patient guy. He does express some frustration with Balsa's wandering ways, noting that she seems to thrive in life-or-death situations. When Balsa admits that this is true and jokingly asks him if he has a cure for it, he painedly replies that if he himself isn't enough of a cure, then there's no point in going on waiting. But he goes on waiting all the same. |

In part of the backstory to The Fionavar Tapestry, a wood nymph marries a human mage. He then sets off across the sea to seek out a fable. She goes into a high tower on the shore to wait for him to return. And wait. And wait. And wait. Eventually, she sees a ghost ship passing carrying his spirit, realizes he is dead and throws herself off the tower to drown in despair. | |

Ichi from Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey, Nobita's new pet who gains sentience thanks to the Evolution Light, last saw Nobita leaving him with the rest of the uplifted cats and dogs back 300 million years ago, with Nobita promising he will return. Unfortunately, the very next day Nobita's attempts to return with Doraemon in tow hits a snag when their Time Machine accidentally sends them 299,999,000 years ago - a millenia off the mark - where the andromorphic cats and dogs left behind by Nobita and co. have now developed into an entire society of their own. And Ichi turns out to have waited literally his entire life for Nobita to return - failing that, the elderly Ichi then used a prototype Time Machine to travel forward in time, only to be hit by a Time Warp and regress to a puppy before ending up in the same timeline as Nobita and gang. Eventually they did reunite, with Nobita apologizing for making Ichi wait a thousand years. | |

In The God Killer, Sister Anna is the only follower of the Sundered Man - a street miracle-worker who had become frozen in time 22 years before - who remains to care for his holy place and watch over his remains after he's murdered. This is because, unlike others who'd awaited his revival for so long, she wasn't hoping for revelations or blessings or reward: she'd simply fallen in love with the man and longed for him to come back to her. | |

Misato tries to invoke this trope in End of Evangelion when she sends Shinji off to fight the Final Battle... only to collapse and die moments after his departure, having lied about the severity of her gunshot wound and her dying monologue quickly getting interrupted by a demolition charge turning her into Ludicrous Gibs. And not only is it implied that she was only trying to get the boy motivation and didn't really mean what she said, her death was a Senseless Sacrifice as well. | |

Despite feeling jilted, Smurfette decided to wait and keep herself a virgin until Wonder died of old age, which was when Hero, feeling heartbroken and suicidal, fell in love with and married Smurfette. And through a Mystical Pregnancy fertility blessing, Smurfette bore Hero's second child, his daughter Miracle. | |

At the end of Matsuribayashi-hen, she finds that Satoshi has been kept in the research facilities underneath the Irie Clinic for a year. His Hinamizawa Syndrome has reached such a level that he feels immense paranoia about anything he sees, and will claw out his throat if unbound. Thus, he's been kept asleep until Irie could find a cure for the disease. She then promises to continue doing this until he gets better, and to help him through his recovery any way she could. | |

In Tales of Phantasia, Klarth's assistant Mirald promises to wait as long as necessary for his return. Up until that point, it had been implied that he wasn't fully aware she loved him (or even that he loved her, depending on how you interpret the character). Made all the more poignant because he learns this in a vision after the party has traveled to the future to confront the Big Bad. Meaning that in this timeline, she is long dead, having presumably waited her whole life for him. If you beat the game, he does indeed return. In a different variant, Arche makes this promise to Chester, when she returns to the past. Particularly unfair, as she has to wait a hundred years to see him again, but since time travel is involved, he only has to wait until she shows up looking for him, or until he finds her. | |

Spinel from Steven Universe: The Movie was told to stand very still and wait in Pink Diamond's garden until she came back, under the guise that they were playing a game. Spinel waited in the garden for over 6,000 years, as everything decayed and everyone moved on without her. Then, finally, she receives Steven's broadcast, in which she learns that Pink Diamond is dead, and likely never intended to come back, which causes her to snap and kick-starts her descent into villainy. | |

In the finale of GUN×SWORD, Wendy parts from the man she loves. (It's unclear whether Van returns her romantic feelings). The series ends with a few minutes of Distant Finale in which Wendy reveals that she's learned to cook food he would like so that she can give him a good meal when he shows up. Though she never explicitly promised to wait for him, it seems to be what she's doing, and she insists that she will see him again someday. Cue Van walking in the door not five seconds later. | |

A variation occurs in The Pirates of Penzance. When Frederic tells Mabel that a loophole in the terms of his apprenticeship might cause it to last sixty years, she still pledges to wait for him until then. (Thankfully, the condition is annulled in the end, and they are reunited.) | |

The Legend of Zelda: In Ocarina of Time, pretty much every age-appropriate girl Link meets promises this by the time he leaves them, except Malon. But that might have been because she thought he was a fairy boy. Also used in the Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. That horrible tower Queen Ambi was building in Ages was originally planned so she'd have a place to wait for her lover, who's out at sea somewhere. The skeleton captain in Seasons is frantically searching for a bell given to him by his girlfriend, "the queen of some country". Eventually the two of them do meet each other again if you play a linked game between both versions. They happily thank Link for reuniting the two of them. Also in Oracle of Ages, the Maku Tree is saved by Link when she is only a small shrub of a tree and she falls madly in love with him. She declares to Link that one day she will marry him. Thanks to time travel Link arrives 400 years later to when she is a full-grown tree and she tells Link that she had waited all these centuries for him to return. Throughout the story, she still gushes over him but realizes there isn't time for a relationship given his quest to save Queen Ambi and stop Veran, though she expresses hope that one day the two of them can get together. The statue that Ambi dedicates to Link even gets built right next to the Maku Tree. Twilight Princess: Said verbatim by Link's childhood friend/implied love interest, Ilia, at the conclusion of the sidequest to restore her memories. After Cor Goron and the others have given them their privacy, that is. There are hints of this in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. When Link ends up Only Mostly Dead in battle against corrupted Guardians, Zelda, who by this point has fallen in love with the chosen wielder of the Master Sword and her appointed bodyguard, has him put in the Shrine of Resurrection to heal over the course of a century so he can once again battle Calamity Ganon. Meanwhile, she uses her sealing magic to trap Ganon in Hyrule Castle to buy Link that time. It's downplayed because both of them were in physical and mental stasis (though Zelda was sporadically conscious so she could fight Ganon and check on Link) the whole time, so the wait didn't feel quite as long to either. There's also Mipha, who waited a century for Link to free her spirit from Divine Beast Vah Ruta. |

In ×××HOLiC, when Watanuki takes on ownership of the shop and vows to wait for Yuuko there until the day he sees her again. Never mind the fact she's dead right now. It's okay, after all, if "wishes can come true if someone wishes hard enough" she'll definitely come back, even though he'll probably never see her again as the person he knew her as. Watanuki won't be aging until she returns anyway, because he made a deal for prolonged life in return for being unable to leave the shop. | |

In the ending of the manga version of Chrono Crusade, Chrono promises Rosette that he'll return to her because the place he belongs is "wherever she is" before going off to fight Aion in their final battle. For a reason that is never explained, he disappears for years, leaving her to wait for him even though their contract means that she doesn't have very long to live. After eight years, he eventually does make it back to her right in time for her to die in his arms. It's left up to interpretation if the scene is really him returning to her or their spirits reuniting in the afterlife. | |

In the manga ending of Eureka Seven, Renton refuses to acknowledge that his lover Eureka is dead and will continue to wait upon the day she returns back. The final page indicates they might have finally reunited after 2 years. In the movie version Eureka Seven Good Night Sleep Tight Young Lovers, Eureka waited patiently and hoped for the moment she could be reunited with Renton, considering she thought of suicide throughout the 8 years of imprisonment. |

In the Sacred Weapons (Kyo, Chizuru, Iori) Team in The King of Fighters 97, as the three work together to re-seal Orochi, Kyo has a vision of his girlfriend Yuki promising to wait for his return. And she does. Played differently in the KOF:KYO game. Yuki does actually make the promise in canon, but more exactly as a part of her train of thoughts when she's held hostage by the New Face Team and they openly tell everyone present that Yuki is the game's Barrier Maiden. When Kyo and his group defeat the NFT, she's released and runs to him in joy. |

Bizarre version in Arthur Miller's All My Sons: son went missing in World War II and is probably dead. His mother assumes that the fact that his fiancee Ann hasn't married somebody else means she's waiting for him and uses this to validate her belief that he's alive. In fact, the fiancee is waiting for his brother to own up to his affection for her. The mother is furious that she's not waiting for her (probably dead) son, until Ann shows her a letter showing that he committed suicide. | |

Ghost Trick: In the new timeline, when Yomiel isn't killed by the Temsik meteorite, Sissel (the fiancee, not the cat) waits ten years for him to get out of jail. Of course, this is hardly surprising, as she outright committed suicide in the original timeline to join Yomiel in the afterlife, with her suicide note just reading "I'm coming to you, Yomiel." And then there's the amazing Missile/Ray pulls, waiting ten years just for a chance at convincing Sissel (the cat, not the fiancee) to rescue his mistress. |

Superman: Lois Lane in All-Star Superman, insisting Superman will come back - he's just fixing the Sun. In Superman & Batman: Generations, Lana Lang waited almost a millennium to marry Superman, while he went and married Lois Lane, had children through her, watched them die, saw his grandson gain powers and have children. Given that Lana had Merlin's staff and was messing around with magic, the wait was worth it, as Lana through gaining immortality still looked as beautiful as the day Superboy first saw her. |

The song Naturaleza Muerta ("Still Life"), originally recorded by the Spanish band Mecano and later covered by Sarah Brightman (lyrics and translation). Per the song, the ocean is obsessed with a woman named Ana. Miguel, her lover, goes off on a fishing trip and asks her to wait for him by the sea side. The ocean takes him captive and refuses to let him go. The locals claim that a rock by the ocean is Ana, turned into stone and still waiting for Miguel, and storm waves are caused by Miguel fighting with the ocean so he can return to Ana. | |

In Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, William and Marygay, who have stuck with each other through firefights, injuries, and the loss of everyone and everything they've ever known, are separated by being given different military assignments. The death toll in the war is horribly high, and Time Dilation caused by near-lightspeed travel means they can never expect to see each other again. William mourns for her as if she's dead, but doesn't take up with anyone else because in the future that he's been thrust into by the time dilation, everyone else is gay. Marygay, on the other hand, leaves a note for him to find if he survives, assuring him that she will wait forever, tells him where she's going, and buys a ship which spends the next two hundred years going backwards and forwards at near-lightspeed, stopping every five years, during which time she has aged about a month... leaving her still in her late twenties when William, aged thirtysomething, catches up with her. Now that's an optimistic lady! | |

In Naruto, Sakura's relationship with Sasuke boils down to this. At first, he was a rogue ninja, but she still kept chasing after him. After his Heel–Face Turn, he leaves once again to wander the world and atone for his crimes, promising that one day he'll come back to her. In Sakura Hiden, set two years after that, he still hasn't come back, making her wonder how much longer she can wait for him. In Naruto Gaiden, this extends even to their marriage. | |

One Piece: A non-dog animal variant of this is Laboon, who's been waiting over 50 years for the pirate crew he made friends with to get back from their trip around the world. And in keeping with the trope, it turns out all members of the crew are dead. Good news Brook's Devil Fruit powers aren't going to let that get in the way. A subversion occurs much earlier in the Buggy Arc. In the town Buggy's crew have occupied, there's a little dog called Chou-Chou, who's standing guard at a shop his master founded. Said master went to the hospital several weeks ago and never came back, having died. Most of the townspeople think Chou-Chou's still waiting, but not the mayor, Boodle. Boodle thinks that Chou-Chou knows his master isn't coming back but watches over the shop because it's all he has left of his master. This makes it all the sadder when Mohji burns said shop down. Tama is a Ninja Brat who has spent the past four years waiting for Ace to return to Wano, hoping to join his crew once she grew up. Unfortunately, due to Wano being an isolated country, she doesn't find out about Ace's death until Luffy arrived. |

Fry's dog Seymour Asses does this in the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark". The dog waited all his life. However, they rectified this in Bender's Big Score, where history was changed so that he didn't need to wait at all. Of course, since the Timey-Wimey Ball is pretty heavily involved in Bender's Big Score, both versions could have happened. Either way - now you're crying. Again. To make matters even worse, the original subject of the episode wasn't Fry's dog, but his mother. The writers realized this would push the Tear Jerker factor a bit too far and decided to make it about Seymour instead. |

In Planescape: Torment, this is given a bit of a twist. Deionarra's catchphrase for The Nameless One is "I shall wait for you in death's halls, my love." Since he is immortal and she is already dead, what she is waiting for is for him to finally find a way to die. Sadly, even if The Nameless One were to recover all his memories of Deionarra upon death, all he would realize is that he never loved her in the first place. The Golden Ending of the game produces more or less platonic variants of this from Morte and Nordom. Both are ageless, and could potentially live long enough to see The Nameless One again. Fall-From-Grace goes so far as to proclaim she will hunt down The Nameless One in the Lower Planes, despite the potential danger and the fact that his punishment will probably have imprisoned him there. |

Ciel, at the end of Mega Man Zero 4, still believes that Zero is out there somewhere and that she needs to help the world for him. Freesia, the slow "I miss you" vocal version of the game's theme, plays over the ending credits, presumably expressing the thoughts of Ciel herself (especially as Rie Tanaka is the singer). After the credits, we see Zero's shattered helmet lying in the ruins of Ragnarok. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, for three of the four possible choices for the first game's ending (Light Side PC or Dark Side male PC), it's established that the first game's PC left their Love Interest behind when they left. With either Light Side choice, a scene near the end shows that the Love Interest is waiting for any news of the PC's return. For the Dark Side male, Bastila got tired of waiting and went off to find him. Also, the Exile in KOTOR 2 goes off to find Revan at the end, leaving his/her love interest behind, and it is established that Atton, Mical the Disciple, Visas, or Brianna the Handmaiden stay behind and wait for the Exile to return. |

He continues to wait for his lover even in undeath, and in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, he makes a wish that they will someday be reunited. The wish is technically granted, but due to a slip-up with how Oshare words his wish, he has no idea when that day will come. | |

Stranger Things: In season 2, this is a point of contention between Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers. After the events of the first season, they had grown close, but Jonathan needed to focus on helping his brother Will through his trauma. Nancy was willing to wait for him... but after a month she decided that he was going to need more time than she could give, and got back together with her ex-boyfriend Steve Harrington. Note that season 2 takes place a full year after season 1 and Jonathan is still consumed with caring for his brother, so Nancy had a point. | |

In Superman & Batman: Generations, Lana Lang waited almost a millennium to marry Superman, while he went and married Lois Lane, had children through her, watched them die, saw his grandson gain powers and have children. Given that Lana had Merlin's staff and was messing around with magic, the wait was worth it, as Lana through gaining immortality still looked as beautiful as the day Superboy first saw her. | |

Fate/stay night: In the Normal ending of the Heaven's Feel scenario, Sakura promises to wait for Shirou after his Heroic Sacrifice, though it eventually becomes clear that he never returns to her. The True ending has him getting an artificial body and living happily with her. This also happens in the Realta Nua Updated Re-release for the Fate path. As Arturia (Saber) lay dying, Merlin visits her mentally and tells her that if her soul will wait forever, and if Shirou will look for her forever, they will be reunited on the field of Avalon. After Shirou dies many years later, he finds Arturia waiting for him. It should be noted that this isn't how the afterlife actually works, but they were reunited anyway. |

Used occasionally on Doctor Who. Jackie Tyler, who, a year after her daughter's disappearance, still had stacks of missing posters on her kitchen table. Sarah Jane tells the Doctor rather reproachfully that she waited for him in "School Reunion". He had actually had no intention of coming back. Likewise, Madame de Pompadour waited the rest of her life to see the Doctor again. Unfortunately, she dies of an illness before he was able to come back. Rose Tyler after "Doomsday". She also built a dimension cannon. Captain Jack, who waits around in Cardiff for a hundred-odd years for the Doctor to come back. In the fifth season finale "The Big Bang", Rory (possessing the body of an Auton) waited nearly two thousand years beside the Pandorica while Amy healed within it. Even the Doctor was impressed.

She never did, and he ended up dying of a broken heart, only imagining what sharing any intimacy with her would have been like. Also, Smurfette herself knew that she was going to be married to Empath from a vision he had in "Days Of Future Smurfed", but was willing to wait exclusively for him for ten years until Empath asked the question. | |

In Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie, we have Clow Reed's former rival (girlfriend and disciple in the English dub), only referred to as Mahoudoushi aka "the Sorceress", and the Big Bad of the film. She created a Pocket Dimension where she would hide and wait for Clow Reed to come even after her death. Sorceress broke free many years later... when Clow was already dead; she then proceeded to unleash her magic against Syaoran's family as well as against Sakura, and as she did so, a lot of her dialogue parts are summed up as her asking "Where. Is. Clow Reed?". When Sakura finally managed to tell her that he's dead, she suffered a Villainous BSoD, saying "But... I... waited...!" all over. | |

Near the end of Jasper in Deadland, Pluto refuses to let Jasper and Agnes both return to the Living World because only one of them still has a beating heart. Unable to accept this, Jasper offers to stay in Deadland so Agnes can live out the rest of her life, promising to be there waiting for her when she finally dies. | |

Also used in the Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. That horrible tower Queen Ambi was building in Ages was originally planned so she'd have a place to wait for her lover, who's out at sea somewhere. The skeleton captain in Seasons is frantically searching for a bell given to him by his girlfriend, "the queen of some country". Eventually the two of them do meet each other again if you play a linked game between both versions. They happily thank Link for reuniting the two of them. Also in Oracle of Ages, the Maku Tree is saved by Link when she is only a small shrub of a tree and she falls madly in love with him. She declares to Link that one day she will marry him. Thanks to time travel Link arrives 400 years later to when she is a full-grown tree and she tells Link that she had waited all these centuries for him to return. Throughout the story, she still gushes over him but realizes there isn't time for a relationship given his quest to save Queen Ambi and stop Veran, though she expresses hope that one day the two of them can get together. The statue that Ambi dedicates to Link even gets built right next to the Maku Tree. |

Pokémon: The Series: The "turned to stone" variant is featured as a local legend in "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak." The stone girl's spirit is also said to haunt the area. The trope is lampshaded and defied by Jessie in reference to said ghost. Downplayed in another episode with a Ninetales (kitsune Pokémon who can reach 1000 years of age); as per the trope, she waited a long time for her master. But once 100 years passed without his return, she realized he'd died and attempted to leave the house where he'd lived, only to be unable to since her Poké Ball was still in there. Another example happened in a Battle Frontier episode, where May meets an old woman at a run-down train station waiting for her husband to return. The woman's granddaughter reveals that her husband wanted to leave to become a Pokemon Doctor, but she didn't want to leave because she was pregnant. She wanted to tell him before he left but was unable to catch up to him. Her husband died in an accident a year later, but she didn't believe it and continued to wait for him at the train station every day for many years. One episode of the XY series features an Espurr who lives alone in an abandoned mansion formerly owned by an elderly woman who it used to be friends with, and had been waiting for her to return up until the present day. The woman's granddaughter eventually arrives to inform Espurr that she fell ill and died years ago, but offers to bring it to the cemetery where she is buried, to which Espurr takes her up on. |

In Warrior Cats, though it's just best friends and not a romantic example, Firestar and Graystripe do this. In the Super Edition Firestar's Quest, Firestar goes away on a quest that leads him far out of the forest, leaving the Clan in Graystripe's care. Graystripe promises "I'll wait for you as long as it takes." Firestar, of course, makes it back safely. In the second series, when Graystripe is captured by Twolegs and the Clans leave the forest for good to find a new home, Firestar refuses to give up hope that Graystripe will return, leaving the deputy position open, even though most of the cats believe that Graystripe is dead. He even cites Graystripe's waiting for him as a reason why he should continue to wait. Eventually, several moons later, pressure from many other cats and the need for a deputy forces him to accept that Graystripe probably won't come back, and he appoints Brambleclaw as a deputy. Over half a year later, Graystripe finally finds his way to the Clan. This is the very line Half-Moon says as the last sentence in Sign Of The Moon to Jayfeather. Silverstream's spirit says this word from word to GraystripeinThe Last Hope. Subverted with Firestar and Spottedleaf. After Spottedleaf dies, she promises that she will wait for Firestar in StarClan, but she is killed again just a while before Firestar dies. |

Like Father, Like Daughter: In the sixteen years Marco was chasing after Hekapoo, he entered into a Friends with Benefits relationship with her. While he had a girlfriend when he left, he assumed she gave up on him years ago. In fact it was only eight minutes from her perspective, and she didn't even notice he was gone. When she finds out he (sort of) cheated on her, she insists she would have waited for him. Marco gently says that it's unlikely she would have kept pining over some kid from high school she went on one date with. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has Ayaka as a platonic version of this with her Best Friend Asuna, waiting and clinging to life until she was 115- the year when the person in question was scheduled to come back. But she didn't, and by the time she finally got there thirty years after, it was too late. Naturally, once the poor girl did wake up and learn that Ayaka had waited that long for her, she broke down in tears. Fortunately, resident time traveler Chao was able to return her to the point she originally left. | |

Arwen does this for Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings once he goes off on the quest to destroy the One Ring, which eventually escalates into a war. Although this time they are only parted for half a year. It doesn't really come up in the movie, but the backstory given in the book it's revealed that by the time they finally get married, Arwen has been waiting for Aragorn for around 40 years. Of course, since she was over two and a half millennia old when they met, that's not actually that long. |

Merlin: In the episode "Queen of Hearts", Guinevere (who is only a servant girl in this version) promises to wait for Arthur to become king so that he can change the customs that keep them apart and finally let them be together. The series finale has Merlin — now a genuinely old man — waiting in the present day for Arthur to return. It's a platonic version... maybe. |

Discussed in Kong: Skull Island. Lieutenant Hank Marlow is a World War II pilot who crashed on the titular island, and was marooned there for 28 years. The last he heard from his wife back home was that she had she had given birth to their son. Marlow and the others discuss the likelihood that his wife has moved on from him, with Slivko thinking that she has while Conrad claims that she may have waited. When he finally gets home to his wife and son, it's clear that she did wait for him, as indicated by her carrying only two drinks: one for herself, one for her son. | |

AZ's beloved Floette left him 3,000 years ago after he created the Ultimate Weapon to restore it to life, ending a war but killing thousands of humans and Pokémon in the process. He didn't even know the Floette was waiting for him, thinking it had left him forever. However, when the main storyline ends and he finally finds redemption, it flies to him out of the sky. | |

Present in the manga version of Hellsing of all the things: Alucard disappears and Integra kills the Major, telling him he's a monster and Alucard will return. She then waits for him for thirty years (naturally she never married). In the Distant Finale, Romancia, Integra has begun to worry that he's never come back and that she's getting old. He returns to her that night, after deliberately losing millions of his own lives to get back, and reassures her that her age is fine with him. | |

In Frozen II, Mattias asks if his old girlfriend is still working at the pub where she was when he left. When he finds out that she is and never married (and therefore never had a family of her own), he finds it doesn't make him feel better. | |

The sequel NEO: The World Ends with You does the same thing with the same characters: Shiki waits every day at the Hachiko statue for 3 years since Neku's disappearance following A New Day, and eventually both reunite. | |

Anna to Mr Bates in Downton Abbey. She points out after they get married at long last that, "We've waited long enough to be together, you and I." Also, Branson to Sybil. | |

The classic French musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) centers around this when the man goes off to war for two years, and she promises to wait for him, even if it takes forever — until the woman (played by Catherine Deneuve) discovers that she's pregnant with his child and marries someone else in act III just four months later. Unlike in American films of this type, they never get back together, not even briefly. Though it's pretty heavily implied that they still both carry the old flame. This film is sort of indirectly the Trope Namer — the main musical theme was also adapted into an English song with this title. | |
