Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were voted off Dancing With the Stars this week, and if you’ve already shed some tears about their emotional departure, prepare to WEEP at Ezra’s goodbye TikTok. The pro dancer sat Julia down and recited a poem for her based on the one Julia reads to Heath Ledger’s character, Patrick, in 10 Things I Hate About You. I hate the way you doubt yourself, when I see everything you areI hate that you can’t see the light that shines from so farI hate the way you say you’re fine when I know you’re in painThat on your hardest days, you’d get back up againI hate the way you made me laugh, when all I wanted was to cryI hate the way you trusted me, when you were terrified to tryI hate the way you held my hand when things would fall apartThat somewhere in the season you became a piece of my heartI hate that people saw the dances but not the battles you foughtI hate that you’ll never understand just how much you taughtBut mostly I hate the way I don’t hate youNot even close, not even a little, not even at all Oh, and reminder that the original poem from the film reads: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hairI hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stareI hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mindI hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhymeI hate the way you’re always right, I hate it when you lieI hate the way you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cryI hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t callBut mostly I hate the way I don’t hate youNot even close, not even a little bit, not even at all
