Missing You

Kevin Ortiz 1967 (New York City)



I can't stop thinking about you.
You make all my wishes come true.
Even though we are always apart.
There is a piece of you in my heart.
I can't erase you from my mind.
Even though it seems like l'm doing time.
The more we stay away from each other.
The more l want to be together.
I can't stop thinking about you.
