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