how our love should look

i want them to have my eyes
but your nose
my smile
but your teeth
my lips
but your voice
i want them to be funny like me
but smart like you
I’m smart too
but in a different way

i want them to love like I can
and be kind like you can
i want them to be the best part from each of us
put together into this beautiful version
THAT WE CREATED

i wanna look at them and see you & me
rolled into one
this PERFECT human being
that ONLY US could make

i wanna have YOUR BABIES
i want more of you in the world
and I want something to continue long past our love

when we are both dead together
holding hands in heaven
i wanna look back to earth and see them
OUR CHILDREN
living, existing with my eyes and your nose
and the best parts of both of us
