Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

What can I tell you That you don't already know? That I know how rain looks When I'm standing on my head? That the clouds on Friday resembled ice cream? That is takes approximately one minute and thirty-two seconds to swim the border of the town pool? Or I forgot my locker combination and cried? Or that I ran out of shampoo from washing my hair three times a day? Maybe you'd care to know that I'm now an expert at crosswords, and I've learned how to spell your name in four different languages? What can I tell you that would make you see? That breaking up really hurt me?
