Second Best

I was surfing Youtube, hopping from one video to another when I finally landed on John Legend's Vevo page and clicked on "Everybody Knows." I like this song, that's a given. But what caught my attention was the highest rated comment found just below the video. It says:

I remember dancing this song with my girlfriend at her graduation 2 years ago....... We are now seperated...The thing is.....I still love her with all my heart....even more than my current gf.... Take my advice and enjoy your time with your special someone because nobody really knows.... :(

Major major sigh. The guy loves his ex with all his heart, even more than his current girlfriend. If truth be told, that's my biggest fear relationship-wise. I'd rather be single, unattached and free to live my life than have someone who sort of thinks of me as a mean-time boy. I want to be with someone who sees me as his one great love and not as someone he just settles for. It's difficult to be with someone who hugs you and kisses you yet thinks of "the one that got away."

Suddenly, I'm reminded of Katy Perry's "Thinking of You."

I don't want to be in that situation... again.

Comparisons are easily done

Once you've had a taste of perfection

Like an apple hanging from a tree

I picked the ripest one

I still got the seed

You said move on

Where do I go?

I guess second best

Is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do

If you were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer

In the middle of winter

Like a hard candy

With a surprise center

How do I get better

Once I've had the best

You said there's

Tons of fish in the water

So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips

I taste your mouth

He pulled me in

I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do

If you were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into

You're the best

And yes I do regret

How could I let myself

Let you go

Now the lesson's learned

I touched it, I was burned

'Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do

If you were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

Looking into your eyes

Looking into your eyes

Oh won't you walk through

And bust in the door

And take me away

Oh no more mistakes

'Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay.

- Thinking of You, Katy Perry
