Unrequited Love in South Bend
Yesterday afternoon, I went to the library with the intention to do some studying. Unfortunately, one of my classmates was there and he so wanted to discuss with me his love and admiration for another classmate of ours. He probably thought that I could help him further his courtship since the object of his affection happened to be a very good friend of mine. He did not know, however, that the girl did not exactly welcome his advances. And so, I had to sit through an hour of short sentences and rapid hand gestures since the poor guy cannot speak English too well. When I couldn’t stand it any longer, I had to excuse myself and told him that I promised my mother I’d be home in an hour to take her call. Then, I ran swiftly away.
I was sorry for the guy though. There was also a time in my life when I liked someone so much that I had to talk about him a lot to others. It wasn’t easy. However, I do miss those days when you can feel your stomach turn by the mere sight of him…that so "kilig" feeling. I haven’t felt that for quite some time now. And I guess I need that right now. Not the unrequited love, of course. That would be too painful. It would just feel nice maybe to know that there’s someone out there who actually wants having you around.
