My Secret

I've taken you to rail stations, said goodbye.
I've driven you to Airports...before you fly.
And those things, they get no easier to do.
Because secretly, I've fallen in love with you.

And when either the train or plane depart.
I get the same old aching feeling in my heart.
Then I fall into the old, familiar sad routine.
It will take a lonely lover to know what I mean.

Life goes on, though you are many miles away.
As the weeks pass slowly by, I count each day.
My secret is a good one and nobody will know.
How much I miss you, because I dare let it show.
