In Love With You

by Laquita Richardson
(Birmingham, Alabama)

Yes I feel so weird when I'm next to him.
He makes me laugh.
And when I cry he's always there,
to make me smile.
He knows the struggles I have in my life.
I know he's a thug.
But if loving him is wrong,
I promise, I don't want to be right
That's how i feel inside.
I think he's the one for me.
People can change and, no,
he has not crushed my dreams.
I feel so good when he's next to me.
In my world I'm dreaming about him and me.
We are meant to be.
