I choose to love you in silence,
For in silence there is 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 much gentler than my lips.

I choose to hold you in my dreams,
For in my dreams, you have no end.
