This one is a long time coming. Only the people that call me friend outside of this website, outside of the internet know how I adored her. She's gone now, almost a decade and counting, set still by the wicked nature of fate and women have yet to catch up to her. You almost wish you'd never called other women 'fine' or 'beautiful' so you hadn't wasted them on women who respectfully were attractive in their own rights but weren't anywhere near Aaliyah's league. History only happens upon women like her once every half century, or more. We honor her life and contribution to this world via the music she left and images she was so kind as to allow photographers to capture for the sake of history and those nostalgic group of people, who were fortunate enough to have their lives overlap hers and still revisit her memory frequently or infrequently.
