We present the calculation of charged pion and kaon electromagnetic form factors in the time-like regime using Schwinger-Dyson equations and the Poincare covariant Bethe-Salpeter equations within an SU(2) isospin symmetric limit. To accurately represent the behavior of a time-like photon, we have incorporated non-valence contributions into the system of equations, enabling the decays ρ → ππ and φ → KK. The inclusion of these decay mechanisms is essential for capturing the expected behavior of the electromagnetic pion and kaon form factors. Our results for the form factors reasonably reproduce the experimental data for a time-like photon.
