I choose to love you in silence,
because silence is the only place
where your voice doesn’t disappear
and my heart doesn’t get refused.
In silence, you are still mine—
not by promise,
not by fate,
but by feeling alone.
I choose to love you in loneliness,
for loneliness is the only kingdom
where the world cannot claim you,
where time cannot pull you away,
where our connection belongs
to no one but the two souls
who never learned how to meet
in the right lifetime.
I choose to adore you from a distance,
because distance has become
the only language we understand.
It protects me—
not from the pain of wanting you,
but from the pain of losing you again.
I choose to kiss you in the wind,
because the wind carries gentleness
my life has never been able to offer you.
It touches your skin for me,
whispers my longing to you,
and never asks why
my lips tremble at the thought
of a kiss that may never happen.
I choose to hold you in my dreams,
because dreams are the only place
where fate does not argue,
timing does not interfere,
and the world does not separate us.
In my dreams, you stay.
In my dreams, you choose me.
In my dreams, you are the ending
my reality never allowed me to have.
And maybe this is love—
not loud,
not complete,
not shared,
but real enough to ache,
deep enough to survive,
and quiet enough to last forever.
I choose all of this,
because even if I cannot have you
in the ways I hoped for,
I will keep you in the ways
life still allows:
Silently.
Faithfully.
Endlessly.
