Jamarr

Two thousand and seven, with a cast on my leg

I was shy, looking down, but you were turning your head

My friend wanted you first, but fate had a plan

When my sister Keeta took it right out of her hands

She snapped a picture of me, set it on your phone screen

That screensaver started the sweetest thing I've seen

We started talking, and the feelings just grew

Until I finally found the words to say I love you

Jamarr, we had some beautiful times in our twenties

Now we're growing older, and the memories are plenty

You're funny, encouraging, lovable, and true

I want you to understand where I'm coming from with you

You're the strongest person that I've ever known

And I appreciate the tender love that you've shown

Fast forward to twenty-fifteen, our lives changed overnight

I gave you a son, and he's your guiding light

He's adored you from birth, looks at you with such pride

And through our toughest battles, you stayed by my side

When the postpartum hit and the shadows fell deep

You held us together when I could only weep

Jamarr, we had some beautiful times in our twenties

Now we're growing older, and the memories are plenty

You're funny, encouraging, lovable, and true

I want you to understand where I'm coming from with you

You're the strongest person that I've ever known

And I appreciate the tender love that you've shown

I have to say I'm sorry, with my heart on my sleeve

I never asked how you felt, I was too lost in the grief

But you stuck it out, you were my anchor in the storm

Through our son, our love took on a brand new form

Thank you for being there whenever you can

I'm so grateful for the patient heart of my man

Jamarr, we had some beautiful times in our twenties

Now we're growing older, and the memories are plenty

You're funny, encouraging, lovable, and true

I want you to understand where I'm coming from with you

Built through our boy, our bond is set in stone

I'll appreciate you forever, I'm never alone
