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.

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.
