Adverb Help (I have been missing you by not speaking/talking)

[Volcano1985]

Hello
I am trying to translate a sentence from my language to english but I am not sure about the adverb. My sentence is:

"I have been missing you by not speaking/talking" Is this ok? If not what should i use here as adverb. Thanks...

Hi Volcano

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, but it seems to me that you might mean this:

I miss not talking to you. / I miss not being able to talk to you.

Yes probably it doesn't make much sense but i meant:

"I have been missing you silently" So what can i use here instead of "silently"

How about "I have been missing you without speaking" ?

'I have been missing you silently/in silence/secretly' sounds more natural, in my opinion.

How does one miss someone aloud? 'Missing' is an inner sensation.

He has been silently pining.

(Perhaps for the fjords.)

Sorry, but neither statement has any meaning for me, Volcano. What are you trying to say?

Can you tell me in conversational language what the poet is trying to express? In the first place, past tense ('remained') doesn't seem appropriate. What other half? She is his other half? His future depends on her?
