I choose to love you in silence, for in my silence I find no rejection.
I choose to love you in my loneliness, for in my loneliness no one owns you but I.
I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance shields us both from pain.
I choose to imprison you in my thoughts, for in my thoughts, freedom is for me to decide.
I choose to kiss you on the wind, for the wind is gentler than my lips.
I choose to hold you only in my dreams, for in my dreams there is no end.

I have still yet to find the correct version of this quote. When I googled “I choose to love you in silence”, I came up with various blog entries that gave me the first two lines only. Anyway, I just returned from Batam after a day of cable skiing. And it’s not fair that Jianling makes it look so easy 😡
