Rid me from every thought that you might have hidden somewhere in your head, as its useless to continue wanting something you will never have again. Don't concentrate on our ending, but remember the beggining. I sat daily on the beach, until you cast your looming shadow over my tiny being, then I took every second of my time trying to absorb at least a little bit of the happieness you seemed to perspire. For the time being, I got it. We bleached our hair and tanned every chance we got.
Its always the thought that counts.
Like the time you said that you thought that pearls melted over my bone and that nothing could ever be so purely unforgettable? That definitely counted.
But I guess you forgot about me, even if only for a moment when you told her you'd love to go out some time. But why?
I don't know, and I'm not even sure that I really care, because I got mine and you will get yours, but for now, I'll settle with ridding your taste from my mouth with beer and gin, just to experience that whirlwind of adrenalin I felt every time your car pulled into the driveway.
I will rinse and rinse my eyes of the tears that might blurr my vision if I decide to let my guard down for even a slight second. To me, the infinite universe of what-ifs seems too familiar right now, so dreaming of the have-beens seems impossibly great.

And the immagery is intense. Especially in this line :
I sat daily on the beach, until you cast your looming shadow over my tiny being
My jaw dropped, then moved itself into a smile.
