"You are my crown jewel. You are flawless, unique, irreplaceable. If I lost you, my life would never look quite the same again. Others might fit, but no one would ever be able to truly fill the hole you’d leave."
"You are a vital piece of my puzzle. You are the perfect shape, the perfect colour, the perfect size. If I lost you, my life would have a gaping hole where it matters most. But there will always be someone I can cut and mold and shape to fill the gap."
Which one was I?

Something I wrote on a whim. Call it an experiment, I suppose. Tell me what you think about it, what you think I was trying to say, anything that comest to mind. I'm curious.
...love? ...true love?... perhaps? maybe a car? or an outfit?
But, it does seem to be the kind of "love" thing, and "the one". And it is a tiny bit cliched :/ But it's pretty good. I like the first one best.
The first one does seem to speak toward true love, soul mate, the one and only. It is more closed than the second, which sort of leaves a loophole; saying that the one being spoken of is important, but not quite irreplaceable. "But there will always be someone I can cut and mold and shape to fill the gap", is more open-ended, conveying that they are the opposite of unique; that while being a perfect fit, they are not the only possible perfect fit, that in fact, you would have no trouble finding someone else if they were gone.

You figured out exactly what I was trying to get at 
Now, can you think of how the question ties in with what you just said?
These sound like two different things one might say to someone special, someone close, someone involved in a relationship that may or may not have been leading toward a commitment normally considered permanent in intent, however non-permanent in practice. Either or both statements may or may not have applied to you or someone you know in the past; or they could simply represent fanciful thoughts you are considering expressing to someone fitting the above parameters. I do not know you well enough to be able to say whether either statement describes you, yourself, at any particular point in time. I am also far too sleep-deprived to get much farther than that, sorry.
Awww, but you're so close! Well, your first sentence was, anyhow
I guess I should have mentioned that it doesn't have to do with me - it's just a writing experiment.
If a writing experiment, my guess is that the two statements are divergent lines that a potential character may propose to another character: which of the two statements is used would determine which branch the story would take, and how the literary relationship would develop, based upon the speaker's feelings and intent. Statement #1: the path of true, ordained love. Statement #2: ehhh, this relationship may need a little work....
Ah, I liked reading
Kalfeer already got to the deciphering part before me though
Nevertheless, pretty cool, I like the way the two statements were put, especially the second one. Although the first one is "nicer" to read... the second one has a lot more meaning
