Could you be

You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.
We can’t physically touch a piece of music as it’s being played, but music can touch us emotionally.
I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.
Of course, music doesn’t have ears, but we do.
I can't follow you, but you can follow me.
Musical pieces have very, very, very bad short term and long term memories, in contrast to our (somewhat) better neurological functions, which allow us to, among other things, follow a piece of music.

A Story
You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.
Stories can certainly be touching. A book can be touched, but the story is not material so can't itself be touched.
I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.
Stories can be told or read out loud. A story cannot hear the listener
I can't follow you, but you can follow me.

The Law. Figuratively, the long arm of the law can reach/touch anyone but the opposite is beyond even comprehension.
I cant hear you, but you can hear me.
Perhaps, hearing here refers to getting to know the law.
I can't follow you, but you can follow me.
Individuals can (actually must) follow the law. Again, the law can't (and doesn't need to) follow anyone.

A Story
You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.
Stories can certainly be touching. A book can be touched, but the story is not material so can't itself be touched.
I can’t hear you, but you can hear me.
Stories can be told or read out loud. A story cannot hear the listener
I can't follow you, but you can follow me.
I can follow a story, but it can't follow me.

You cannot touch me, but I can touch you.
The Law. Figuratively, the long arm of the law can reach/touch anyone but the opposite is beyond even comprehension.
I cant hear you, but you can hear me.
Perhaps, hearing here refers to getting to know the law.
I can't follow you, but you can follow me.
Individuals can (actually must) follow the law. Again, the law can't (and doesn't need to) follow anyone.

One can argue that legislators can touch it. They can retouch it (amend) and they can do the finishing touches (review and edit drafts for voting) on it. I don't think your answer holds.
