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.

I love how it's so relateable. We always seem to make the worst decisions when a guy is involved. It sucks!

well, i like how much emotion you put into this, but the rhyme is pretty forced. you chose a goo topic because a lot of teenage girls can connect with this feeling however the structure could use a bit of work. i know its supposed to be simple, but it just feels like something is lacking.
