Why are you laughing at my stupid joke?
It wasn’t even funny
It was inappropriate, actually
And yet, you can’t stop laughing
With that twinkle in your eyes
Your way too small eyes with your hair hanging over
Your messy mop-head hair that could use a good brushing
Or even a wash
Your smile is crooked
And you’ve got something stuck in your teeth
You’re not as tall as I imagined in my dreams
And you don’t have six pack abs
You have man boobs actually
And they jiggle when you laugh
YOU'RE A MESS
A stupid
Inappropriate
Beady-eyed
Mop-headed
Crooked-smiled
Short
Jiggly man-boobed
MESS
So why am I falling in love with you?

I love this. It's absolutely adorable and it perfectly describes that moment of realization when the honeymoon phase is over and you realize how flawed and annoying your partner is--and that you don't care; you love them anyway. Well done!
The heart wants what the hearty wants! This is so honestly adorable!
I'd missed this, a very enjoyable poem
