The Get-Him-Out-of-My-System Cocktail:

Gin

Pineapple Juice

Sometimes you break not just the rules, but your rules.

You could say it’s because you can’t resist.

But honestly, that’s not the answer.

You’re an adult. You make choices. You choose to relinquish resistance.

You let it fall through your fingers like grains of sand.

You don’t care where the sand winds up. You want what you want.

Even though it’s so much more than want now.

It’s deeper, more intense, and scarier too.

This feeling in your chest? It’s making you rethink everything. And when you feel this way, you need a little gin and some pineapple juice.

It tastes strong and decadent too, like all your desires. Like your dangerous and delicious choices.

Go fill a bowl of popcorn and have a snack with your cocktail.

Yes, a whole bowl.

After all, you can’t eat just one handful. And it’s not because you can’t resist.

It’s because you’re choosing something else.

And because you know this drink name is a lie. You don’t want him out of your system. You want him in it.

You just don’t know how to get that without having the whole friendship burn to the ground.
