If there be wrong in this; that wrong has already been accomplished; the mere uttering of it cannot harm either of us.

We know the fact without words.

I love you; with all my heart I love you.

I can say this to you here in the silence, yet I could not speak it openly before the world.

Why?
Because such love is wrong?
Under God I do not know; only, the world would misunderstand, would question my motives, would misjudge my faith.
