Flat Soda

Right now, I'm eating pizza and drinking a flat Dr. Pepper.
Why are you drinking a flat Dr. Pepper when there's other drinks in the fridge?
Because it tastes pretty good and it's what I want right now.

I thought about that. It relates to people, I guess.
Why do you love him when there are other people who could be better?
Because he has plenty of good qualities. And he's the one I want.

Maybe my soda's flat. So what? This is what I want.

(isn't that a terrible thing to say about someone? "Oh, you're like a flat soda. Not perfect, but it's what I wanted to drink, so I'm taking it." That's awful. But it's the truth... right?)
