i see you girl.
i want you girl.
your dirty blonde brown.
it's soft,
you already know,
but i want to tell you anyway.

when i see you,
and your recent imperfections,
i feel like that beauty of yours,
decided to give me a handicap,
a headstart.

NOW, i can have you.
i'm not that great to begin with.
as for theory and rhetoric go,
i got you beat, bitch.

but as far as real life,
that shit that matters for survival,
i am in awe of your strut and swagger.

women feel the potential for motherhood,
even before there is a soul in that womb,
but the men,
us men,
we don't get it until that baby screams for life.

until that mark made you human,
there was no chance,
there was no feeling of hope.
and now there is the idea of us.
