I love the way you talk to anyone, Do you have to talk to her
I love the way you love animals, you know I'm allergic to fur
I love the way you are different, you're not going out in that hat
I love the way you are well read, you gonna waste money on that book
I love the way you think I'm beautiful, why'd you give me that leering look
I love the way you'll help anyone, bet it's just to fuel your ego I dislike this line.
I love the way you're spontaneous, this isn't where I wanted to go
I love the way i fill you with desire, I told you I'm not in the mood
I love the way you're relaxed about your body, do you really need all that food That's funny.
I love the way you're still fun, do you really need that toy
I love the way you still act young, sometimes you're like a little boy
I love the way you collect me from work, isn't it time you get a new car
I love the way I feel natural around you, stop looking while I'm only in my bra
I love the way you always have a smile, why'd you have to wear that that silly grin
I love the way just let yourself go, do you really have to try to sing
And if you keep on with that annoying laugh I don't think I'll last another day
I'm so glad we met 'cos I think that you're perfect.... why're you walking away? This kinda sucked the life out of the poem for me.


I love the whole paradoxical way of looking at things in this poem except for the ending... Keep writing!

I really liked this poem..the title pulled me in. However, for some reason, it made me kind of sad...which in your case, is a good thing ;) I love to feel emotion when I read something and this affected me for some reason...it was very nice, although I do agree with the commenter about dividing up the different ideas/stanzas. Great job!

Alrighty, I haven't really reviewed any piece of work yet on this site, so bear with me. ;o;

Overall, I loved this a lot. It made me giggle while reading it, I like poetry that's got a bit of irony and humor thrown into it. I think it was witty - but there was one thing that bothered me, and a few have already mentioned this. The layout of the text, it's bundled up into one hunk and makes it slightly overwhelming. If you spaced it out a bit, it'd easier to follow and read. I noticed a few spelling errors as well, but they're very minor.

Other than that, I adore this poem. Is it bad that it almost reminds me of my own relationship?
I'd love to see more of your works.

Hiyah, it's me again. Lol.

Wow! You really conveyed the contrasts in human relationships really well. The title is what really drew me in. "I love you as you are, now change." This poem definitely brought to light how we as humans tend to contradict ourselves even, and sometimes especially, with those we love.

Again, the flow could use a number of tweaks. Perhaps chop up the lines a tad? Other than that, I have nought else to say. It was a good read. Good job =)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED your poem!!! I laughed and then read it to everyone and laughed some more, this poem made my day. :) As a poem I shall critique it as one, no matter how much it made me smile.
First, congratulations on the brilliant idea, and amazing ending. I agree with chibigiraffe on dividing the lines to help the flow. Although I would have liked the flow better if the rhyming pattern was every other line instead of every two lines rhyming, but just my opinion.

I liked the overall idea for this poem. I think it makes a lot of sense on the relationships we have with others.
I agree that you should have broken the sentences up more, because it's kind of...weird? to read them like that.

But I liked the ending. It wrapped everything up like a present and put a bow on it.
Wonderful job, magnifico~

It's perfect in getting the point across on how no one really loves someone for everything and that they dont want them to change. everyone has stuff about them that someone doesn't like. no one is perfect, and I think u did a great job in getting the across

LOL, this made me laugh. :D Normally I don't like rhyming poetry but this was really awesome. XD I think your lines are a little bit long in this and you could probably chop them up like this:

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
