Narrative:
We were cleared for take off from 19L. At approximately 90 KTS; the tower said; '(company flight number); cancel takeoff clearance.' another aircraft which was waiting for takeoff clearance on 19R transmitted something (frequency congestion). The captain asked the tower to confirm the takeoff clearance. The tower replied; 'continue with takeoff.' we continued the takeoff normally. After rotation; we noticed an airbus had either departed or initiated a go-around from 25L. We crossed under the flight path of the airbus by approximately 1000 ft. We did not receive a TCAS alert. We do not believe there was a loss of separation.
