“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 hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams you have no end.”
― Rumi
