Rumi

" I choose to love you in silence

For in silence i find no rejection

I choose to love you in loneliness

For in the 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
