In Silence...

I choose to love you in silence;
For in my silence... I find no rejection.
And in my silence... I find no cold receptions.
In silence, no harsh words are spoken,
No fragile hearts left unbroken.
In my silence... I see only your perfection.

I choose to love you from a distance;
For in distance... there is no pain.
From a distance... I do not feel the rain.
In distance, there are no tears to cry,
There is no need for lies.
From a distance... my love will always remain.

I choose to love you in silence;
Though there are no gains.
In this heart my love will stay,
'Til forever and a day...
Forever chained...
Forever unclaimed...
