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?
