“I choose to love you in silence…

“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.”

― Jalaluddin Rumi
