The Little Things

He holds my hand then he pushes it away.
He tells me to go but asks me to stay.
He frowns at my jokes when he really wants to smile.
He says he'll be a minute but it takes him a while.
He says he loves Auburn, but I'll bet he secretly loves Alabama.
He takes pictures of me and I want to break his camera.
He can't give a compliment to save his life.
He tries to act mean when I know he's nice.
He takes things as insults when I only try to show I care.
He bugs me to death but whenever I need him he's always there.
