It’s been a long day,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGHmzZXXIA
and I’ve got little to say.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPBHKvHkS
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQItSgalA
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wnXe3fu2T
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRsEbcZbkH
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqWjxC6SYA
1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJeJhYEtg
No words dared to part from our lips1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD002EdOFjz
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNt95vOC1e
We listened to Music together silently,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T1KpcSQ3t
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡildbO0kIA1
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxx6dGZZf2
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe7qQ2qC1p
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQRgD0ATkF
I hear the chirping of the birds,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6qJGjAvc6
I hear their every songlike word.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCFr6CB0kA
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCDtYlIxTK
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DYP8ZP6VS
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSPs6TLang
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAf9UizPAm
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngIYbvv8y7
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLCnbeFV9Q
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bb25nH5av
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUKYyOhUxt
I like to take things nice and slow,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLPoluitg4
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju6b9O2KSd
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqAvSUV66n
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4kubgPLX
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL5pteRMd3
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nSYrdztv
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6M7ow1xzS
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhUiNbsdGC
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTusOj20Zo
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq12UtQqb4
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWhJ114hhx
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPvdR1a8vF
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMvP8v67d
while he may leave me behind as nothing more than a name.
In the end, the Music from my MP3, as it must, comes to a halt.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWX39NpGmD
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk2Ym4EfE8
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL4PMLQ0Mn
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtC6rXmDm9
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDyEyPCZq9
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uQ8YOoBc
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskOiseKcgh
