KEVON

Easter Sunday, twenty-nineteen, out at the cookout

I stepped away to catch my breath, trying to figure things out

You walked up and asked me if I was doing okay

Took a picture on my phone, and changed my life that day

Two weeks later, checking in, you tore down every wall

Unlocked the hidden doors I had, you caught me in the fall

You took away the chains of fear, you showed me something real

Kevon, you're the only man who taught this heart to feel

My heart knows what it wants, and it always chooses you

My safe place and my peace, every day the love is new

From the moments we are laughing to the legacy we make

I will love you through tomorrow, with every breath I take

You're my baby, you're my partner, the greatest gift I see

I'm loving you more every day, my forever meant to be

Holiday Inn in twenty-twenty, a weekend just to breathe

Watching your passion to serve the world, wearing your heart on your sleeve

Even when the car ran out of gas, stranded in the dark

Every little detour with you just left a beautiful mark

And that rainy night the elderly home flooded in the deep

You wanted to rush out to help while the city was asleep

Eating dinner at LOJ Plaza, you looked me in the eye

Said, "T, you are a nice husband," and I couldn't even reply

My heart knows what it wants, and it always chooses you

My safe place and my peace, every day the love is new

From the moments we are laughing to the legacy we make

I will love you through tomorrow, with every breath I take

You're my baby, you're my partner, the greatest gift I see

I'm loving you more every day, my forever meant to be

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

I cried so many heavy tears, missing you next to me

But my mother said, "Stay the course, I like him just for you"

December brought me to your arms, and the love was exactly as true

Driving down to Tennessee, singing songs across the map

Meeting mama, she just smiled and said, "Him likkle bit and bad"

If loving you is selfish, I will gladly take the blame

Kevon, I'm building a future with your name

'Cause my heart knows what it wants, and it always chooses you

My safe place and my peace, every day the love is new

We are building up a future, where our family never waits

I will stand beside you, Kevon, through every turn of fate

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

Kirlew and Kevon, forever and always
