Kung Ako Na Lang Sana "Heto ka na naman, kumakatok sa 'king pintuan, muling naghahanap ng makaka-usap. At heto naman ako, nakikinig sa mga kwento mong paulit-ulit lang, nagtitiis kahit nasasaktan."
As the famous song of a Filipina singer goes. It tells the story of a girl who has been friends with this guy for a long time. They have been friends for so long that the guy had become very comfortable with the girl so that everytime something goes wrong or everytime he breaks up with a gf and needs a shoulder to cry on, he goes to the girl. And a cycle develops... the guy not knowing that the girl is actually in love with him and has been for ages now. If only he would open his eyes and see what's right under his nose and love the girl instead, he will never cry again.
"Kung ako na lang sana ang iyong minahal, di ka na muling mag-iisa. Kung ako na lang sana ang iyong minahal, di ka na muling luluha pa. Di ka na mangangailangan pang humanap ng iba, kung ako na lang sana."
I find the song really sad. It just goes to show that there are times when guys and girls cannot really be in a platonic relationship. Otherwise, the relationship would just be as youngsters call "nokia - user friendly". It is so frustrating to see people in this kind of relationship. Good if the guy wakes up, but what if he doesn't? It makes me want to shout everytime I hear a friend excitedly tell me that her crush called her last night asking her for a favor or seeing her guy friend sitting beside her in the office typing something on the computer. Why is it that guys always say that we are using them when it is usually the other way around?
Let us, girls, be reminded then that there are times when we really can't be good friends with guys. When you find yourselves the shock absorber/savior/angel of your guy friends and when you can't seem to say no everytime they call you then you are in danger of being a host to a parasitic relationship. We should always keep a certain distance from them and never let yourself fall in love with them. Remember that lots of guys are blind to our plight, they just see what is there on the surface. They don't ponder on trivial things such as a girl friend once again saving them from missing an important phone call because of a dead cellphone battery or a girl friend losing sleep over their 1 am phone call just to ask for a medical certificate or a 2 am text messege updating you on their lives. All they think about is - you are THERE so you are useful. However, let us be reminded though that to every rule, there is always an exception (siguro bading siya!).
Sounds pathetic? Yes it may sound like it but it is a reality!
