I love your voice,
your soft brown hair.
I love your eyes
and love your stare.

I love your laugh,
your cocky smirk,
your stupid jokes.
You precious jerk,

you know I do.
I want my hands
all through your hair
each treasured strand.

I’m wrapped around
your finger still.
Am I yet yours?
Your love does kill

the things I hold
so close to me
and yet you’re the
best jerk I see.

This is such an amazing poem. If I had tried to describe that...well I just couldn't. But it's so relatable and simple. It's awesome. I love it.

&quot;In school, my teacher had us<br /> write down what we wanted to<br /> be when we grew up. I wrote<br /> down &quot;happy&quot;. She told me I<br /> didn&#039;t understand the assignment. <br /> I told her she didn&#039;t understand life.&quot;

this is the exact way i feel. like, dead exact. the guy can be such a 'jerk' haha, but i just love him.

i especially like the part that goes 'you know i do' that stanza:)
