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 know what you mean. I have a guy friend whom I recently acquired and I call him a jerk all the time, but this describes how I feel about him really well.

Quotations Form the beginning,
to the end,
My heart will beat for you.
And when it stops,
The pain will stop,
...The sorrow will stop,
The love will stop,
But the hurting will begin,

Describing this boy as having a "cocky smirk" makes me dislike him, and I'm not sure I understand what the author sees in him...It's a very well written poem, though.
