I have heard so many songs in my life and I have related to pretty much a lot of them. That's what makes music so fascinating. It really mirrors the reality of life: the way we feel, think, act, what we experience in our day-to-day living. The following song done by a local artist has been around for a few decades now, and yet its lyrics never seem to cease to haunt me. Maybe because I often feel that way. And I have always been in search of people who will be able to fill the void that I often feel, normally during my suicidal state of mind. Note that the term I used is people. I am not in search of a particular person but several people who will be able to do the things stated in the selection.
A Friend
I've still been searching
And long have I waited
For someone to like me as me
To laugh with, to cry with
To be just beside with
A friend that's who I need
To fight with, make up with
To know that you need them
Believing that they need you, too
To walk hand in hand with
To argue to talk with
A friend that's who I need
And even thoughI make mistakes
And never do anything right
A smile, a hug
Can change all that
And everything will be alright
Someone who'll share all
my dreams and ambitions
Someone who'll love me as me
I need this person
Someone to rely on
A friend that's who I need
A friend that's who I need
*************
Come to think of it, a girlfriend will fit perfectly into that description. However, for a girlfriend, what the song doesn't state (but is very much required in my standards) is that someone who will not burn your credit card down to a crisp, or someone who will not drive you nuts. Does someone fit that description perfectly? I'm not sure if such a being exists. Until then, I will be waiting..... and waiting....
....still waiting.....

Crossing over from friendship to romance is difficult. Most of my best friends are guys. Of the four guy friends I had, I fell in love with two, but the feeling was never mutual. Lack of chemistry, maybe, but whatever the case, they never let me down. They were the bestest friends ever.
So don't expect a friendship to turn romantic. Look for the sparks and the chemistry nalang. It's easier, more romantic, and more exciting. Just don't be so picky.
the more you ask for it, the more it will elude you, bro. don't pressure yourself too much and everything will fall into place soon...
hey, i was browsing and i came across your site.
taking note of this particular entry together with a previous one (where you posted your "to do" list), i realized that there are, after all, lots of people going through the same things you are. cheer up, there is at least one other person who's taking mba, plans to go abroad, and waiting in vain for love to come along. (in case you still didn't get it, i'm one of them.) and it really sucks when you feel that all the people around you seem to be getting a better deal, whether at work, love or something else. but they're really not. so hang on.
cheers :)
may i know who sing the song you have posted?
I learnt this song recently during avoice class n the words have perfectly what I feel. A loneliness, a longing for a true and understanding friend. cant remember the composer tho, but I shud hv that piece of music lying somewhere. Meanwhile, the touching almost melancholy tune grips my heart and my desire is still wanting; "I've still been searching, and long have I waited....A friend, thats who i need." a very beautiful song it is. One day, I must perform this song...
