"I like that you are silent" Chilean poet Pablo Neruda" I like that you are silent, as if you have left, you listen to me from a distance, my voice cannot reach you you. It's as if your eyes have flown away, as if a kiss has closed your mouth. Like everything that fills my heart, you emerge from it and fill my heart. Butterfly in the dream, you are like my soul, as gentle as melancholy. I like your silence, as if you are far away. It seems that you are lamenting, and the butterflies are cooing like doves. You hear me from afar, my voice cannot reach you: let me be still in your silence. Let me talk to your silence, which is as bright as a lamp and as simple as a ring. With silence and stars, you are like the night. Your silence is like a star, far away but straightforward. I like your silence: as if you have already left, distant and full of sorrow, as if you have passed away. Just one word, a smile, is enough. I am happy, but not really happy.
