It’s been a long day,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07LDnZlpL1
and I’ve got little to say.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrcw943qsk
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnEzHXQluc
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BdroLKxgc
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TIZzNRpiu
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkQoPATGTR
1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9h9qKjWy5
No words dared to part from our lips1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dkmmxVyW6
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgEDHsQvmC
We listened to Music together silently,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbytw9vcAFz
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwLJ3o3mK
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniWBXogkZ
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsXDn4H78j
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYapEtkFNk
I hear the chirping of the birds,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnAlhNm8RU
I hear their every songlike word.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOGXnI8KFJ
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNn2uFvOSu
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMbbz3IhOm
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLzJrKQPGH
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m3bEE7cKF
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2LgO3ztn
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTGkgQqgs
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmNvJfeOJH
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucjon5lO8
I like to take things nice and slow,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMRPP4m2uu
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgTl5EFpaf
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZC5uJDdTr
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRAaTc25RJ
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArB3dCwl7c
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsl94vPe2w
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85dSDfMMEI
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyVuiAtxJ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2UWmU9os4
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr5a1cZMr3
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHNnKKtv4d
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqifuPedwjQ
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjbfvWeDSS
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.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOzs1LCGcP
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoj8YqD3bY
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4kwHD2zp
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJY5mLm43
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF71iogUD3G
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9agX5WAEyQ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksBXwmj6YF
