There is something uniquely delicate about the relationship. I don't know if the secrecy is because the relationship is forbidden (doctor/patient?), taboo (student/teacher?), or just an awkward situation between friends, but things are better off kept between them.
Obviously the second person ("you") in the song is very troubled based on the first two verses, and I think that might be the attraction, hence the maintenance of secrecy. The first person ("I") knows how difficult continuing the relationship will be (note the hints that the second person is pushing the first away), so that is where the miracle comes in: the perseverance of the relationship itself would be miraculous. The first person wants the second to be that miracle that keeps it going.
Like I said, it sounds like a uniquely delicate relationship.
