"It was not a decision. It was a destiny to fulfill."
Written, performed and produced by Kevin W. Kilgore. A true love story — every word. Two lifetimes, intertwined.
True love's never over,
it's not measured in time.
Our hearts beat together,
when your hand's in mine.
Climb any mountain, fly over the ocean,
and swim cross the sea —
I found you there waiting,
Monik was waiting for me.

"A YouTube comment. An ocean crossed alone. 180 days a year, every day the law would allow. Peanut butter sandwiches for a year to save the money. A language learned for love. And a promise — made and kept."
Read the Full StoryKevin Kilgore is a Nashville blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter with a voice that carries every mile he has lived. His music is not performed — it is confessed. Raw, honest, and rooted in the American blues tradition, Kevin writes from the deep end of human experience.
His latest work — "True Love Was Waiting — To Monik With Love" — is the culmination of nearly ten years of love, loss, and an ocean crossed again and again for the woman he called his angel. It is a song about a real love story. Every word.
Kevin is currently working on his first book — Ensemble. Notre Histoire. — the full story of his love with Monik Lebrun of France.
"In one of our very last conversations, Monik asked me to tell our story. I promised I would. It is entirely possible this will be my last work. It must be my best — by every possible measure. When people read it they must be moved to tears."
