“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. JALAL AL-DIN RUMI. Persia, 13th century. “I choose to love you”.”
