When I went to the airport today
with you to say goodbye to you,
your eyes welled up at the gate
and tears fell on your cheeks
Keep heart my love, I said
How lucky we are we are in love
and it hurts to hear a goodbye
even for a short while
I held back my tears at that moment
I wanted to show you I am a man
as men do not cry at parting
lest they show their unmanliness
It was a moment later when you had
entered the gate and was out of sight
my heart could not contain my tears
my hanky was wet on leaving the terminal
I just wanted to tell you
how hard it is to hide love!
I have been thinking of you since then
and searching flights to fly to you.
