Because i choose to

I choose to love you in silence
for in silence I receive no rejection.

I choose to love you in loneliness
for in loneliness no one owns you but I.

I choose to adore you from a distance
for distance will shield us 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.

‘If you don’t understand my silence, how will you understand my words?’
