I choose to love you in silence, because in silence I feel no rejection.

Ever since you read this quote, you told yourself, maybe that's what you should do.

You've been rejected too many times. But you've always wanted the person you liked to know how you feel. You were always too excited about being loved in return. Ever since grade school till college, it went the same. They would do the same thing, not reject you outright but in the end, they find someone else. Your feelings were never returned. You fell too many times and not even once have you experienced mutual love. For so long you hurt, but you never got tired of loving. Even until two years ago when you confessed to a guy who told you he can't see you more than a friend.

You read that quote from your feed around that time and realized maybe it's something you have to do. Maybe they're being overwhelmed by you, maybe you're too eager. Maybe there's something wrong with you confessing your love for them. But you still can't refrain yourself from liking someone, your heart still believes in love. But from then on, until today, you changed your ways. You still like someone. But you will never let him know anymore. You'll keep everything to yourself. And maybe then you'll eventually find that person who'll reciprocate you love. After everything is kept in silence.
