There are surprises and then there are sweet surprises. Aaliyah’s following post on my Facebook Wall the other day was one such.

Bob, These Are The 10 Things I Hate About You:

Ten
I haven’t slept in an eternity. Always in my thoughts, dreams… Lost my sleep because of You.

Nine
You make me smile for no reason and make me look like a complete fool in front of others. I would be talking or doing something, then your thoughts would crawl into my mind and I will smile without seeing the person or place.

Eight
You have made me emotionally dependent. No celebration is complete without You. My tears wouldn’t dry without your soothing words.

Seven
I don’t dress up for myself anymore.
Only for… You!

Six
You have made everyone else in the world seem less important.

Five
I am not myself anymore.

Four
I love you so much.

Three
You have made me write ‘I love you so much’ in the ’10 Things I Hate About You list.’

Two
Get off my mind… I am not able to concentrate on the list.

One
You proved Science wrong. It’s not in my mind or heart my life lives, but in You!

And there are a thousand reasons why I love you!
