long time, old story
久 centers on a long stretch of time: something that lasts, an old story, or a drawn-out duration.
久 is thought to originate from a pictograph of a person leaning back or resting, later extended to the idea of a long time or duration.
The shape looks like a person leaning back with a leg extended, as if settling in for a long wait. That relaxed posture suggests a long time passing.
For キュウ, imagine a long queue stretching far into the distance: queue -> キュウ, and the line takes a long time to move.
