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