Ex-Girlfriend & Snapple Facts

Sometimes I miss you so much that I forget things about myself,

like, what my smile looks like or the sound of my own laughter.

 

But still my mind is filled with all of these useless facts

like, Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-a-like contest and came in third place

 

The Empire State building was the first man made structure you could jump off of and reach terminal velocity before you hit the ground

 

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.

Females' hearts beat faster than males'.

 

Dogs can make ten noise while cats can make nearly 100.

There are approximately 9,000 taste buds on the human tongue.

 

You hate thunderstorms, I am a thunderstorm.

I know its impossible to die from a broken heart.

 

But lately when I look in the mirror I can't even recognize myself

and reaching terminal velocity sounds sweeter and sweeter each day

 

At night I can not fall asleep because I am haunted by the thought of you.

My heart has almost stopped beating in your absence.

 

If you called me on the phone I would not know what to say,

but still your lips are the only thing my taste buds recognize as happiness

 

You hate thunderstorms, I am a thunderstorm

 

I know that you left me, so why won't you leave me?

I know that you left me, so why won't you leave me?
