Un Minuto Mas by Flumely Carmona (age 16)

Dame un minuto más, to remember you, to remember your scent of warm vanilla bean, to remember your soft caramel skin, to have one last bear hug.

Dame un minuto más, to thank you for trying, days and hours you spent trying to cross, just to be with me. You were just a woman who wanted her kids back. Now you are buried six feet deep in another soil, soil that your kids do not step on.

Dame un minuto más, to say sorry. I hope I'm not too late. I hope you can still hear me. Sorry, for putting you through this pain. I know this is not a fairy tale, where a wish upon a star will bring you back.

Cuanto daría para volver el tiempo atrás. Ay dios, I just wish you just gave me "Un Minuto Mas."
