"私はあなたがじっとしているのが好きです それはまるであなたが不在であるかのようで あなたは遠くから私の声を聞いているが 私の声はあなたに触れません。"
— Pablo Neruda
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine having a friend who sometimes feels distant even though they are right beside you. When they are quiet, it’s almost like they are not there, and you feel like you’re talking to yourself. You can speak to them, but they don't seem to react or respond. This can make you feel like there is a great gap between you, even if they are physically close by. It's like talking to someone who's not paying attention, so your words don't reach them, and you feel lonely despite their presence. This experience can make you realize how important genuine attention and connection are in any relationship. For someone looking to apply this in life, it’s a reminder to be present and engaged when spending time with others, showing that you truly care about their presence and their words.
