So this is like one of my alllll time favorite songs of the past 5 years lol. There are 3 versions that I've heard so far of the song. One by my girl Jazmine Sullivan, Andre 3000, and Raheem Devaughn. I've decied my fav is gonna be the Raheem version for today lol. This song says what a lot of people that are in love think... Not many people know for sure who they are going to spend the rest of their life with, but there does come a point where you just say, Man I HOPE that you're the one, but if you're NOT then I hope the others are a whole lot like YOU! The definition of protoype, which I grabbed from Merriam Webster says exactly that. The part of the definition that caught my eye is an individual that exhibits the essential features of a later type... Basically you may not be the ONE, but you have the characteristics of THE ONE... I love it!
