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

Andie sighed as Ken held her close while they danced. She felt like something was missing. Something inside her was missing. And she had an idea as to what it was. Shannon. She hadn’t talked to him in a while and now here she was, dancing with her man, thinking about him. Sighing heavily, she laid her head on Ken’s shoulder and looked at the people dancing around them. None of them looked upset or confused. They looked into one another’s eyes and looked liked they were happy and belonged here. So why didn’t she feel like that?

You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know

Shannon. His name kept popping into her head like a rice bubble. She couldn’t understand why the one night she was with Ken, the man who she loves. Or supposedly loved. That didn’t make her feel well. Was she really questioning her relationship with Ken when there was only a month left before their wedding?

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

Yes. She was. Ken’s hand slid along her back as he felt how tense she was. He usually comforted her so easily, but now- it wasn’t working. This was not what she wanted. Instead of Ken, she wanted Shannon to be the one holding her right now, whispering how much he loved her as his fingers danced against her back.

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

Her eyes shut as she remembered that Shannon was her best friend, he would never be anything more. Their nights together had happened out of drunkenness, but their had to be some underlying feelings to make them do that. Right?

“What’s wrong?” Ken whispered into her ear. She pulled back and looked at him. Her heart dropped into her stomach as she watched his eyes try to read her face. It had come to the stage over the past few weeks that she barely conversed with Ken. At first, she’d just thought it was pre-wedding nerves getting to her but now she knew that it was more than that. She loved Shannon and knew that marrying Ken, no matter how much she tried to suppress her feelings for Shannon, the marriage would be over before they could ever truly be happy.

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself

“Nothing,” she murmured and he smiled, running his hand across her cheek before he bowed his head and kissed her gently. Her eyes slipped shut but instead of Ken she was imagining Shannon. Not on purpose either. His face was there the second darkness greeted her vision. What am I doing?

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into

Whenever she was with Ken, she was thinking of no one but Shannon. How pathetic could one person get? He was never going to be anything more than two one night stand mistakes that ended awkwardly. She was never going to have him because he had Tiara. And Shannon loved her. Right?

You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!

Whenever she slept, her dreams were filled with images of those nights. Of Shannon kissing her. Of everything that had happened between them. Her whole world revolved around the one person she would never be able to have the way she had Ken now. Why couldn’t she just get over it and love Ken the same way she loved Shannon?

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes

The saying was true she guessed. A man and woman couldn’t be best friends forever without sex become a factor at some point. It had happened to Matt, well he’d lost someone because of that. Amy had been friends with Adam and acted on her feelings, hurting Matt in the process. Was she really the same as Amy? Was she going to put herself into the same shoes that Amy had? Shannon was everything to her. He had been there when everything had happened all those years ago, and even after everything in recent times, he was still there for her. Everyday she thought of Shannon, it broke her heart to know they were heading down different paths in life and she would get to share the time she wanted to with him.

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, stay
