There are many types of love out there, including unrequited love, abusive love, and Charlie Puth has now released the video for his song about suspended love. 

The track is pretty much self-explanatory – CharlPu and SelGo play ex-lovers who still miss each other but unfortunately don't talk anymore. So far Puth has released two different videos for the song and we must say both are good in their own ways. 

The first one to be released was a performance video taped at one of the dates during Gomez's Revival World Tour. Puth really shines in it, as he drowns out the songstress' vocals at her own concert, though we must admit she could have been tired from having sung for some time before he came on. And while we're at it, is it just us or did Selena look kind of high in the vid? Or maybe she was just feeling the song WDK. 

The next video is the real emvee for the track and it features Puth and his on-screen ex-girlfriend going about their life side by side. It starts off mild when they are pining for each other but really squeezes the heartstrings when they are both having fun or rather trying to have a good time without each other by their sides. 

A takeaway lesson from the MV? Please text if you really miss someone. It's okay if you know it'd make you feel like a loser. Just put aside the ego and reach out. Who knows, the other person might actually be feeling the same way too.
