"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."
~ Rumi
