Untitled #1

I know that I can annoy him if I try,
and when I succeed he lets out a huge sigh.
It's really quite funny because he always takes the bait.
He's like the fish in the sea, never realizing before it's too late.

The truth is that he's a pretty cool guy.
I like him for some reason, but don't ask me why.
He's one of those people that I really want to dislike-
the kind you hit in the head and tell to take a hike.

But I actually like him so I endeavor to be nice,
to act completely civil if never again in my life.
It's an attempt failed again and again,
so I'm glad he forgives me for getting under his skin.
