Ten Things I Love About You

Well, one of my favorite kinds of movies are ones that are based on Shakespeare's stuff...he is after all the greatest poet of all time. In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You there is a poem that is read by Cat (Kat?) talking about the 10 things she hates about her man...but she actually loves him. I wrote a poem using the same format about this guy I knew in my first year of University and it is kind of about the things I hate about him but really the things I hate myself for letting me feel. I have found over the last year that this poem is about the troubles I have in romantic relationships in all times - for example I let them make me feel like the bad person, and make me feel insecure. I realize these are my issues and I am working on them. Honest. Anyway...for anyone who has felt that way...here is a copy of the poem...

10 Things I Love About You.

I love the way you smile at me
And how it makes me feel
When I know you're just appearing nice
Like maybe I should kneel

I love the way you glace right through
My face like I'm not there
I love the way you know just how
To fade the Confidence I bear

I love the way you don't understand,
How I cry at night when I'm alone
Becuase I love the way you don't know
That not everyone has someone to own

I love the way you were not the first
To scar my bleeding heart
I love the way I will eventually learn
Which sweets will turn to tart

But mostly dearest, I love the way
I don't blame you for my trouble
For it is plain to see when I find the right
Man, my pleasure, 'twil be double.
