I choose to love you in silence.
I choose to love you in loneliness.
I choose to adore you from a distance.
I choose to kiss you in the wind.
I choose to hold you in my dreams.
For in silence I find no rejection,
For in loneliness no one owns you but me,
For distance will shield me from pain,
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
For in my dreams, you have no end.
Rumi
