I choose to love you in silenceFor in silence I find no rejection,I choose to love you in lonelinessFor in loneliness no one owns you but me,I choose to adore you from a distanceFor distance will shield me from pain,I choose to kiss you in the windFor the wind is gentler than my lips,I choose to hold you in my dreamsFor in my dreams, you have no end.
