Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say.
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been.”

—  Billy Joel

“I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.”

Pablo Neruda (1904–1973) Chilean poet

Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente,
y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca.
