&quot;We&#039;re all a little weird, and life&#039;s a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.&quot;<br /> -Dr. Seuss

I like that stutter.
It’s a perfect stutter.
It’s not an imperfection, but the opposite.
But I like it even more when he’s talking to me.

I like that smile.
Braces and all.
But I like it most
When it’s a smile for me.

I like that voice.
That’s low as the bottom of
The ocean.
But I like it best when that voice is joking with me.

I like that boy.
I like everything about him.
I love the way he flirts with me, and when he is just around me.
But I like it best
When there are those moments
When he’s only mine.

I wrote this a few years ago about a crush I had. Sometimes, we all feel this way; stricken with affection.
