UMAASA pa rin, besh?
Remember those nights when you were half-awake in bed, faced to the wall, sobbing until you fell asleep? We’ve all been through it. Nagmahal, nasaktan, naiwan. Relate?
But even if we move forward and start a new life, something has not changed in time – your feelings. Hinahanap mo pa rin, mahal mo pa rin. Gusto mo pa rin maulit ‘yung kayo because even if your mind tells you tama na, your heart says kapit pa.
As they say, the heart wants what it wants.
Kaya naman here are some good old classics to listen to kung gusto mo mag-move on pero mas gusto mong bumalik siya.
1. Dahil Mahal na Mahal kita (Roselle Nava)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrf7NIMs_Vo
“Gagawin ko ang lahat, pangako mo lang di ako iiwan, dahil mahal, mahal na mahal kita…”
The ultimate hugot song of the ‘90s, and still is today.
Whether you’ve been repeatedly cheated, disregarded or disrespected, eh mahal mo eh, ganun talaga.
Sometimes, we can’t just figure out why we love someone the way we do, we just do, kahit gaano pa tayo sinaktan.
2. Someday (Nina)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkEJH_st870
That bitter, excruciating, knee-crippling split, whether official, gradual or sudden, hurt you like hell. It was that split that had you die a thousand deaths and had you wishing, “One day, I’ll forget about you / You’ll see, I won’t even miss you / Someday, someday…”
At one point, you swore, someone will love you as much as you love him, someone will need you as much as you need him. You looked forward to that day when you will wake up not missing him anymore.
Pero sa puso mo, you know, it’s still him.
3. Burnout (Sugarfree)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um-B-dd94jg
Lovers to strangers, what can be more painful? Surely, when everything ended, you wondered, “
Teka muna, teka lang, kailan tayo nailang…”
But no matter what happened, you don’t plan on looking anywhere else because siya noon, siya ngayon at siya pa rin bukas.
Just like what singer Ebe Dancel said, “Oh, kay tagal din kitang mamahalin…”
4. Sana Maulit Muli (Lea Salonga)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fexZjFhiGc
“Kung kaya kong iwanan ka / ‘Di na sana aasa pa / Kung kaya kong umiwas na / ‘Di na sana lalapit pa / Kung kaya ko sana…”
… Nuff said.
5. Kung ‘di rin lang ikaw (December Avenue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1pwbnzbe7g
If there’s one perfect song you can dedicate to that person you call “the one,” this could be it. You are closing your doors because you are sure, “Kung ‘di rin tayo sa huli / Aawatin ang sarili na umibig pang muli…”
6. Huwag Ka Na Magbabalik (Roselle Nava)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsiU49_UvTg&t=6s
There’s no better song that speaks your pain after being left than Roselle Nava’s “Huwag Ka Na Magbabalik”
While you’re wishing he does not make his comeback, you very well hope he returns, because…
‘Di ko kayang pigilin ang sigaw nitong damdamin / Labis man akong sinaktan / Ikaw pa rin ang aking mahal…”
7. Migraine (Moonstar 88)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etL85QrVKXg
For those who may be forgetting to check the label, “oo nga pala, hindi nga pala tayo…”
Moonstar’s 88’s Migraine reminds us all that if you are enjoying paying girlfriend services for the price of a “friend,” isip, isip girl!
Talking stage is fun, thrilling and perhaps the most exciting part of getting to know a person. But let’s not forget, we have to promote ourselves one way or another.
Or else, you’ll forever stay, “Nahihilo nalilito (nahihilo) / Asan ba ko sayo asan ba ko sayo…”
