Nicolas Arreola

Te miro todos los días,

Y trato de darte señales

De que nunca me fui.

Te oigo cuando ríes,

Y te miro cuando duermes,

Hasta te abrazo para calmarte cuando lloras.

Te miro que quisieras que los días pasaran,

Deseando que yo regresara a casa,

Trato de mandarte señales,

Para que sepas que no estás solo.

No te sientas culpable de tener vida,

La vida que se me negó a mí,

El cielo es verdaderamente hermoso,

Espera que lo veas!

Así que vive tu vida, vuelve a sonreír,

Se feliz, se libre

Y así sabré con cada respiro que tomes,

Vas a tomar uno por mí.
