It seems like an easy task to translate 浪费 to English. The first word that comes
to my mind is "waste", 2nd close word is "spend". 浪费时间 waste/spend
time, 浪费钱 waste/spend money. Are these negative words? Or perhaps, it's
just neutral.
When you are with someone you are close, regardless of how you feel, time is being spend/waste. But you feel great about it! It's positive.
How about waiting 30 mins for your bus? Time is also being spend/waste. Most of us would not describe this as positive.
What about waiting for someone you love? Would the time spend/waste be view as positive or negative.
Imagine you are happily married for 50 years. You have spend/waste 50 years on your spouse. Now, do you think that 浪费 is negative or positive.
This song help me to relook at the value of time. It is a resourse that you can only try your best to use it the way you want it to be, at the same time, you cannot stop it, like water from waterfall.

多久了 我都沒變
愛妳這回事 整整六年
妳最好 做好準備
我沒有打算 停止一切
想說我沒有志願
也沒有事情好消遣
有一個人能去愛 多珍貴
沒關係妳也不用給我機會
反正我還有一生可以浪費
我就是剩這麼一點點倔 稱得上 我的優點
沒關係妳也不用對我慚愧
也許我根本喜歡被妳浪費
隨便妳今天拼命愛上誰 我都會 坦然面對
即使要我跟妳再耗個十年 無所謂
妳和他 沒有如願
短短半年內 開始分裂
我的愛 依舊沒變
連我自己都 對我欽佩
有的是很多資源
我有的是很多時間
不去愛才是浪費 多不對
沒關係妳也不用給我機會
反正我還有一生可以浪費
我就是剩這麼一點點倔 稱得上 我的優點
沒關係妳也不用對我慚愧
也許我根本喜歡被妳浪費
就算我再去努力愛上誰 到頭來 也是白費
不如永遠跟妳耗 來得快樂 對不對
This is a decent translation I get from Youtube.
It's been a while & I haven't change a bit
This thing about loving you, has been ongoing for half a dozen years
But you better be prepared for I have no plans on putting it to a stop
Aspirations, I have none. Neither do I any leisure pursuit
Hence how precious it is, to have someone to love
It's fine, you don't have to spare me a chance
I have a lifetime to waste anyway
What's left of me is this abstinancy/stubbornness/perseverence
And it could well be an asset of mine

An alternative view is possible.
Perhaps time is not a resource?
Perhaps time is just an illusion we manufacture to order our perception of reality down here in third dimension consciousness?
We intuit from our dreams that time does not exist at 4D and above.
