Isn’t it ironic that when I wanted you, you didn’t want me and now you want me, but I don’t want you? Life, emotions, love, people: all so very complicated. As my good friend Liz recently mentioned, some people “just don’t value what they have.” We have something, which may not be 100% perfect, yet we let that go because we want something else and when we obtain that something else, we don’t want that either. Then we wish we had what we had before, the thing we had before we got the thing we supposedly really wanted. Confusing!?! Read that last sentence again…slowly. Then we wish we had what we had before…the thing we had before we got the thing we supposedly really wanted. That’s just how some people’s minds work….They are confused. Not content. Selfish.
A couple of weeks ago I sat down and listened to “All I Want is you” by Miguel Jontel and I told myself I had to write about this song. He is reminiscing about the woman that is no longer in his life. She left him and he admits it was his fault. From the sound of it, he wanted to continue his player ways and once he went back to living it up, he realized that there is no substance in the fleeting relationships he is involved in. The “distractions” are not providing him the sustenance he obtained from being with the girl that he let go.
If she was a good woman to him, I hope she has moved on and found someone that will value her true worth. The way this world works though and as unfortunate as it may be, he may come begging, she may say yes and then the roller coaster ride will begin yet again. Have you experienced something similar? Know someone else that did? What was the outcome?

Lyrics
J. Cole
I never thought I see that day that you’re my old girl
Now I’m stuck here hollering at old girl
Got one, Got two, three four girls
Shotgun in the drop made her right
Hut one, Hut two told them niggas take a hike
Then it’s on to the next one on to the next one
Hard to move on when you always regret one
Miguel
I wondered some time. I wondered if I was wrong
Trying to do right by you got me here
Now all I am is alone
Cause honey our closeness and that
don’t compare at all
And I bet all do is distract me but now
Deep down when I face it
Chorus : Miguel
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you now
Now that you’re gone, gone, gone
Miguel
Cause being your friend is killing me softly
I hear voices
Wonder where I went wrong
It was my fault
And the wrong time I wonder so often
Regret gets exhaustin’
Cause hon our closeness and that
Don’t compare at all
And I bet all they do is distract me but now
Deep down when I face it
Chorus : Miguel
All I want is you
All I want is you now
All I want is you now
Sugar, now that you’re gone, gone, gone
All I want is you
All I want is you now
All I want is you now
Baby, now that you’re gone, gone, gone
Miguel
Cause they don’t smile or smell like you
Cause they don’t make me laugh or even cook like you
Girl they don’t photograph, nah they don’t sex like you
Let face it I can’t replace
that’s why All I want is you
J Cole
I hit the club when you left me thinking that could heal
Trying to celebrate my Independence Day Will Smith
Baby gurl who I’m kidding
still sick Real sh!t
All my new bit*hes seem to get old real quick
Could it be you everything these plain bit*hes couldn’t be
Is it a sign from the Lord that I shouldn’t be
Lost in the Player way sorta get old to me
Got me on layaway, Girl you gotta a hold on me
I say I’m wrong, You say come again
Damn said I was wrong look don’t rub it in
I got a lot on my mind
Got a flock full of dimes
Like a line full of hoes, Look how they coming in
Just saying
you don’t wanna have me then somebody will
I’m playing
Weight on my chest like I body build
I’m praying
You ain’t content with trying to do your thang
Hey come back baby boomerang
Miguel
That’s why
All I want is you now
All I want is you now
All I want ïs you now
Sugar, now that you’re gone, gone, gone, gone
You know that you’re gone

yea sometimes it takes losing something to really know what you had. sucks but true :(
That's why I'm all for figuring out what you want beforehand. Don't get involved in a serious relationship until you're absolutely certain that the person you are considering fulfills the things you want in a partner. Determine whether you are willing to compromise if he/she doesn't have ALL the things you want (most people think they can compromise, but really can't). Until you can look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself honestly that you can't see yourself without the one you are considering, then don't waste the time or the energy. Peace!
i think that if someone lets me go in the pursuit of someone they think is better or someone who haas something i don't... then all that means is i don't have something they want... so i will never be good enough, fulfilling, the "one". I want to be loved madly completely. So if someone leaves me for something better, I say, rejection is God's protection, they just told me they are not what I want. I dont want someone who views me as anything less than the perfect girl for them. (Not the perfect girl, but the perfect girl FOR THEM.)
