wind between

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.
