Kevon

Easter Sunday, twenty nineteen, a cookout at your place

I stepped outside to catch some air, you came and read my face

You asked me if I was okay, took a picture on my phone

I didn't know that simple frame meant I'd never be alone

Two weeks went by, a message came, and you tore my armor down

Unlocked the hidden doors I built, the safest peace I've found

Kevon, if there's a better man, I never want to see

You're the answer to the prayers I didn't know to pray for me

I loved you in our yesterday, I love you deep today

I'll love you for tomorrow, and every step along the way

We're building up a legacy, our future bright and true

My forever love, my heart belongs to you

Holiday Inn in twenty-twenty, watching you work on your screen

Typing your Kiwanis reports, the kindest heart I've seen

Even when the car ran out of gas and left us in the dark

Or that rainy night the home was flooded, you showed me your spark

You wanted to rush out right then, I made you wait for dawn

From the Sigma Run to random calls, my love just carries on

Kevon, if there's a better man, I never want to see

You're the answer to the prayers I didn't know to pray for me

I loved you in our yesterday, I love you deep today

I'll love you for tomorrow, and every step along the way

We're building up a legacy, our future bright and true

My forever love, my heart belongs to you

April twenty-twenty-one, you had to cross the sea

I cried so many heavy tears, missing you right here with me

My mother told me, "Stay the course, I like him, not another"

Distance couldn't break the bond we carry for each other

December brought your arms again, the same sweet, gentle touch

I kept my word, I stayed right here, I love you just that much

Kevon, if there's a better man, I never want to see

You're the answer to the prayers I didn't know to pray for me

With Hackeria, my daughter, and our parents by our side

We'll leave the struggles in the past, with nothing left to hide

I loved you in our yesterday, I love you deep today

I'll love you for tomorrow, forever and always
