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.
