If I Ever Marry

Everyone has imagined what their future is going to be like at some point in their life. What kind of job they'll have, where they'll live, or who they marry. And as you go through life, ideal situations are probably going to change a bit. For me though, I've made a permanent decision about my ever-changing future.

If I ever marry, my husband will not be afraid to show his emotions, no matter how stupid or cheesy society has labeled them to be. That macho tough guy thing isn't going to fly with me because I'll be the one who knows all the silly goofy parts of him. And I won't hesitate to bring them up if Mr. Tough Guy can't seem to grasp the slightest feeling.

If I ever marry, my husband will be a dad. He won't leave me all the hard work of parenting, and he's definitely going to like playing with babies. "Get off the couch" won't even have to be mentioned because the role of responsibility will already be assumed.

If I ever marry, my husband will be loving towards his children. He'll want to tuck them in or kiss their boo-boos or sing to them when they're down. Even when they're teenagers, he'll still be that same loving and sweet dad he was when they were small. Healing heartbreaks, cracking jokes, lending advice and hesitantly keys. 

If I ever marry, my husband will tell our kids he loves them and they won't have a reason to question it. Because my husband will hug his children, and he'll tell them he's proud of them for everything they accomplish no matter how big or small. They'll never have to wonder where they went wrong or why they weren't good enough. And there will never be any tears from threats of abandonment. No emotional scars that streak their hollow hearts that hunger. No wondering of which bruise the bully at home will stab at next.

Because if I ever marry, my husband will be everything my dad is not for me, and love will not come at a price.

Ready

I'm closing my eyes
To open my heart
So when I find you
You will open them again.

Show me the path
I'm ready to run
Deep in the night
I'll look for the sun.
