My Angel Tavy

Mmm… yeah…

I still feel you when the rain hits my skin,

We was just kids dreamin’, now I’m missin’ my friend…

(Verse 1)

We was young, playin’ tag on the block,

Laughin’ ’til the sun dropped, never watchin’ the clock,

You was my safe space when the world felt cold,

Told me “B, don’t fold, you got a heart of gold.”

You knew all my secrets, my hurt, my pain,

You’d pull up in a second when I called your name,

Said, “I got your back, you just handle the front,”

Now I’m fightin’ this world, but I’m fightin’ alone.

(Pre-Chorus)

I was carryin’ life while you were slippin’ away,

Didn’t get the chance to tell you that day,

Sixteen, cryin’ hard, couldn’t understand fate,

Why they take the real ones, why they couldn’t wait…

(Chorus)

Tavy, you was my rock, my heart, my peace,

Now I’m talkin’ to the sky where your soul runs free,

You was laughter, light, the calm in my storm,

Wish I could hear your voice say, “B, you strong.”

Now I’m twenty-one, still missin’ your glow,

Still playin’ them memories like an old love song,

Yeah, my angel Tavy, you still live in my soul,

You was more than a friend — you my home.

(Verse 2)

You’d clown on me, say I worry too much,

You’d make the pain fade with a simple touch,

Didn’t know I was pregnant when you left this earth,

Wish you could’ve met the life I birthed.

Then you left too soon, world turned gray,

Had to learn to stand tall in a brand-new way,

Every birthday, every tear, every star I see,

I know you right there still ridin’ with me.

(Bridge)

Sometimes I pull up to your grave and I just cry,

Talk to the dirt like you still alive,

See our pictures and I break right down,

Wish I could hear your laugh, that goofy sound.

You was solid, loyal, never had to pretend,

You wasn’t just my boy best friend —

You was heaven sent.

(Chorus)

Tavy, you was my rock, my heart, my peace,

Now I’m talkin’ to the sky where your soul runs free,

You was laughter, light, the calm in my storm,

Wish I could hear your voice say, “B, you strong.”

Now I’m twenty-one, still missin’ your glow,

Still playin’ them memories like an old love song,

Yeah, my angel Tavy, you still live in my soul,

You was more than a friend — you my home.

(Outro)

If heaven had a phone, I’d call you right now,

Tell you I made it, I’m still holdin’ it down,

Your name on my heart, forever engraved,

Tavy, my angel — I’ll love you always.
