Hope(less)
Why I still think about you,
 I don't really know.
 Maybe it's the way
 that you held me.
 
 Why I still dream about you,
 it's a mystery you see.
 Perhaps it's because
 you used to lay here
 next to me.
 
 But why I still love you,
 oh darlin' it's 
 perfectly clear.
 
 You were my first love.
 My first glimpse
 of true happiness.
 
 You were a melodic tune
 that brought a beautiful
 soundtrack to my life.
 
 The way you kissed me
 was like no other.
 With your lovely
 soft lips
 You were irresistible.
 
 You were were the bright colors
 that painted my heart.
 
 Yet you were the storm
 that shook me.
 The lightning that
 shocked me.
 And left every hair
 standing straight up.
 
 So why don't I hate you?
 Why can't I find it in me
 to despise you?
 
 Why would I take you back?
 And forget everything?
 
 Does the good outweigh the bad?
 Or am I just a hopeless romantic,
 lost in the sea of love?

Okay. I'd change line 4 to "you've held me"
I'd change "about" to "of," it's one less syllable.
But why I still love you,
THAT, my darlin',
is perfectly clear.
More syllables in the last line of stanza 4: Maybe "of fickle happiness"?
I'd change the last line of stanza 6 to just "Irresistable," and end the sentence in the previous line, combining it to "With your lovely soft lips. /Irresistable"
"Why can't I find it in me" doesn'r really work for me.
last stanza: change "the" to "your'
Change "romantic" to a word with the accent in the first part of the word.
