Kevon

Easter Sunday, twenty-eighteen, a cookout at your place

I stepped outside to catch my breath, and then I saw your face

You asked if I was okay, held my phone to take a shot

Captured the beginning of the greatest thing I've got

By April twenty-nineteen, we were talking every day

You unlocked every hidden door and chased the fear away

You became my quiet peace, my blessing and my home

A safe place for my spirit so I'd never be alone

Kevon, the heart knows what it wants, and mine belongs to you

Through every mile and every year, my soul is tied to you

You told me, "This is what you cross the bridge for"

Building up a legacy, and opening the door

I loved you yesterday, I love you today

I'll love you tomorrow, I'm never walking away

Holiday Inn weekends, watching you prepare

Your Kiwanis reports, showing how much you care

That pitch-black rainy morning, the elderly home was flooding out

You wanted to rush into the dark, that's what your heart's about

Turned back from the Night Run, parked at LOJ

Eating dinner in the car, I can still hear you say

"T, you are such a nice husband," words that warmed my soul

Even stranded out of gas, with you I'm always whole

Kevon, the heart knows what it wants, and mine belongs to you

Through every mile and every year, my soul is tied to you

You told me, "This is what you cross the bridge for"

Building up a legacy, and opening the door

I loved you yesterday, I love you today

I'll love you tomorrow, I'm never walking away

When you left in twenty-twenty-one, the hardest tears I cried

But my mother said, "Stay the course," to keep my hope alive

"I like him for you, not another, him likkle bit and bad"

She saw the beautiful heart in the greatest love I've had

December at Sakura, you looked me in the eye

"I'll never let you grow old alone," a promise for our life

Kevon, the heart knows what it wants, and mine belongs to you

From Florida to Tennessee, my soul is tied to you

You told me, "This is what you cross the bridge for"

Building up a legacy, and opening the door

I loved you yesterday, I love you today

I'll love you tomorrow, I'm never walking away

I, Kirlew, promise you forever, I'm never walking away
