It’s been a long day,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzbNrCD7a
and I’ve got little to say.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYEKVdZ1R6
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiHyIbrZDm
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumMGZsn2hd
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsdfJyq7Ms
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXVDqx6fe
1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP6FlsggRx
No words dared to part from our lips1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqnuuG3p3h
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAiEuUcoO
We listened to Music together silently,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuidFJ1pEr
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi6PR5efsI
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzl0FsAaRO
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlr7LnAxje
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdY2gxDVeC
I hear the chirping of the birds,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwb4TmxnP0
I hear their every songlike word.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFVYoLxx0z
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyIJruP2B4
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKETbWgAXH
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UNOZH0XVb
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WRCP4Ok3n
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAesqX5FuRb
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Uca2uhFg
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEf4IA20X
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvY65hFE4
I like to take things nice and slow,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96u9kUvAbE
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGKTmy8Q5C
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUrRT1xP8
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEfvMJ4Sv4
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbTdKJcWmH
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe4BT5FQ38
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT2YnF4Uy7
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VhII4eOUf
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlweOrH8LR
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvqe9uBE3f
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Mh3aqCn6
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDcUrdrCKa
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WaZOS6FyO
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.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FgAuq48Un
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcXb9zyKUV
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekGVMoyBel
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgymLiOCUb
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5s2Cc39ot
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11kuwa8q83
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hz1sHuX1n
