Never forgotten

Yeah…
Look
I was 17 when the world went quiet
Phone rang once, then my heart stopped fightin’
Car accident, life changed in a sentence
One moment here, next moment heaven-sent
I still hear your voice in my head some nights
Tellin’ me “keep goin’, baby, you gon’ be alright”
But I ain’t alright, I just learned how to hide it
Smile for the world, then cry when it’s private
You was my backbone, my safe place
Only one who saw me past my mistakes
When the world felt cold, you stayed warm
Now I’m tryna stay strong in the middle of the storm
I needed you here when I became a man
Instead I learned pain before I learned plans
Graduated from life with no guide
Just memories and your love by my side
I still replay that day like a broken tape
Ask God why you, why that road, why that fate
People say time heals, but it don’t erase
It just teach you how to walk with the ache
I miss the way you said my name
Miss your laugh, miss your face, miss everything
Every milestone feel incomplete
‘Cause the one I want proud of me can’t see
But I carry you in the way that I breathe
In my morals, my heart, in the man I be
Every time I don’t quit, that’s you in me
Every prayer I whisper, that’s you with me
So if I win one day, this for you
Every step that I take, I’m walkin’ with you
You ain’t gone—you just switched where you stay
I lost my mom… but I gained an angel that day
Yeah…
I love you forever.
