Te Amo, a Poem by David

Te Amo

No quiero deshacerme si no estoy a tu lado
Yo solo quiero estar contigo y olvidar el pasado
Gracias por el cariño que me has dado
Y por tu corazón y por tu amor que me has entregado
Solo contigo quiero deshacerme
Cuando pienso en ti hasta mi corazón se duerme
Solo paso pensando que tú y yo estamos abrazados
Deshaciéndonos en un reloj de arena
Por eso quiero estar a tu lado
Y que no deshagamos juntos
I love you forever


Drawing and poetry by David, a teenager from Central America who hopes to be released from government custody and reunited with his family, while he asks our courts for protection from life-threatening violence in his home country. David explained that his drawing inspired his “rhyme” and that he is excited for people to see and experience them together.
