Best thing I Never Had

I have to admit I have been totally touched by Beyonce's new song Best Thing I never had. I am sure if you are over the age of 21. You have probably been heart broken by now. The funny thing about heartache is that you never forget it. The pain grows weaker but sometimes can still be re experienced. The pain has no timeline for when it should or should not leave, or when it will return.
Often I find that even if the relationship was horrible we find ourselves wanting to go back to a love once known, because it is comfortable and familiar. We remember all of the good things and want that love so bad. Maybe you were cheated on, played, abused ...whatever it was. I am sure this song can touch you.
The reason I love this song so much is the satisfaction and contentment B displays throughout the song. It is so playful and she seems happy with her new life even if in the past there was pain. It is interesting that she is able to acknowledge this pain, but yet it is not distressing for her. It is almost liberating to know that she was so foolish to love that person who slighted her. I guess in a way it provides hope that maybe liberation is there for us all eventually. If we keep our heads up and live right.
