I choose to love you

I choose to love you in silence…

For in silence I find no rejecrion,

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.
