Crush

I remember my classmate in college who really had a huge crush on another classmate, Donna. 

It was a sad case of unrequited love infatuation and our class had a lot of memories at the guy's expense. One time he, out of frustration, almost leaped off the sixth floor of the Finster building if it hadn't been for Dave and Nathaniel who held him back. Another time we teased at the idea of a love team in the making even though Donna didn't want to have anything to do with him. But the most enduring memory I've had of my classmate was him sitting on one of the benches of the D-Building, crying his eyes out. That's because he really was in love with Donna but knew he won't get any love back.

Having a crush sucks. Big time.

Of course, he has probably outgrown his feelings for Donna today but I'm pretty sure he's a fan of the song Pangarap Lang Kita by Parokya ni Edgar:

At kahit mahal kita

Wala akong magagawa

Tanggap ko na aking sinta

Pangarap lang kita

 

I bet we guys can sympathize with this unfortunate classmate of mine because we've been there before. At one point of our lives (or probably more), we've pined for a girl, knowing that she's forever going to be beyond our reach. It sucks. It really does.
