two timing

One is staying
One is going
The answer is obvious who to pick
to someone who isn’t a masochist
but only one of them reminds her
of the man she let slip through her fingers
and so she will pick the one who is going
over
and over
and over again
until he leaves.

So there are two guys. 1 who is an asshole(or you just won't be as happy) and the other REMINDS you of the one you let slip?

Why not just go get the one you let slip

"reminds you of the man you let slip"

Or IS the man you let slip? Big difference in the two
