Te Amo

by Evie Dorsey

Standing shoulder to shoulder

Looking at the night time in the desert

You took me by the hand and held me tight

And I thought I heard you whisper, “Te amo.”

And I saw it in your eyes, “Te amo.”

Walking hand and hand through the arroyos,

Cradled by the rocks and the water,

You put a stone in hand and said, “We are the land.”

I thought I heard you whisper, “Te amo.”

And I saw it in your eyes, “Te amo.”

Riding side by side across the river,

Watching shadows dance with the mountains.

You don’t have to take my hand or hold me tight,

I can always here you saying, “Te amo.”

And I saw it in your eyes, “Te amo.”

And I see it in your eyes, “Te amo.”
