**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**
