(Verse 1)
2020 one unassuming day in March,
Didn’t know my heart would come alive,
Just a message on a glowing screen,
Turned into the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
I was tired of broken promises,
Didn’t think real love still existed,
Then you came with your gentle ways,
And wrapped my darkness into brighter days.
(Pre-Chorus)
You showed me kindness without trying,
Held my heart without denying,
Every little thing you do,
Makes me wanna be better too.
(Chorus)
Happy birthday to the unexpected love of my life,
Adekunle, you make everything feel right,
You gave me faith in love again,
Brought healing where the hurt had been.
I pray God gives you joy and peace,
Good health and blessings that never cease,
Today I celebrate the man you are,
My melanin god, my shining star.
(Verse 2)
You love me soft, you love me true,
There’s safety every time I’m with you,
And every prayer I whisper at night,
I ask God to keep your future bright.
Your heart is gold, your soul is rare,
A kind of love beyond compare,
And if I searched this whole wide world,
I’d still choose you over everyone else, boy.
(Pre-Chorus)
Cause you make loving feel so easy,
Even from afar you still complete me,
You’re the reason I still believe,
That heaven sends people when hearts need peace.
(Chorus)
Happy birthday to the unexpected love of my life,
Adekunle, you make everything feel right,
You gave me faith in love again,
Brought healing where the hurt had been.
I pray God gives you joy and peace,
Good health and blessings that never cease,
May every dream inside your heart,
Find its way and play its part.
(Bridge)
So here’s to laughter, here’s to years,
To wiping away each other’s tears,
To all the love we’re yet to see,
And the man you’ll always be to me.
(Outro)
Happy birthday, my love…
My unexpected blessing from above…
Adekunle…
My last of the Mohicans
