I broke up with you. You got me back, tortured me, and, when I acted tortured, you dumped me for it.
But suffering is the spice of sweetness, so getting over you took far longer than we spent together.
And, this is embarrassing, but when I was walking through Center City, listening to my iPod on shuffle, Lisa Loeb's "Stay" came on and it hit me in the gut for the first time.
But now, when someone is going through a heartbreak, I have something to say. "The nice thing about breakups," I tell them, "is your music collection will sound like you've never heard it before."
