Hidden Pain


What do you say to the man who's leaving?
How can you tell him not to go?
What do you do when you're heart is breaking?
How can you convince him you'll be okay?

You hold him tight and tell him you love him
You let your tears fall like rain
You tell him you understand why he's going
And pray for the day he returns

How do you live hiding that love?
When do you cry tears of pain?
How do you hide joy from calls and letters?
When do you hope for a moment alone?

You trust in a friend who can listen
You code your letters and calls
You read your mail alone for awhile
And travel, far away

What will you do when he returns to you?
Will you hold back or run ahead?
Will you leap for joy and cry tears of hapiness?
What's the first thing you should say?

You should feel joy and peace and hapiness
You should walk with a smile on your face
You should show your elation in a calm manner
Until, everything is safe
