It’s been a long day,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38vfEkPmPF
and I’ve got little to say.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMwY9kc9s4
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB1nJqakGP
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WRrM1KUK
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTivBJRLsJn
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLstQ4TqeH
1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuNGtw8VqP
No words dared to part from our lips1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLReZScil
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U0dmmuTpZ
We listened to Music together silently,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtG7QSLLpF
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcBD09TGu7
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJmqt5lVna
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8DcOPMVaI
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrMCWS8JPB
I hear the chirping of the birds,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVY0q7myVM
I hear their every songlike word.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOc4d8gBoX
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCE66hVfCj
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaLoqmc5Gc
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOkKWSbU34
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNQ3wrSDgW
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJiSb1Sgy
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeVPmjPN2P
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxniAR541if
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAM64LRcbI
I like to take things nice and slow,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3mBF0MikM
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzEhP9V7NO
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmNvJN3IhB
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmkksxFm7A
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfipRy6fxn
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjVtxRA4Ug
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNozHS83dz2
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGe5uvdLfM
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZsHMou7zY
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡginbYVuQ5v
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdd9zIrXiV
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivLdUMIzL
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkP0PlyjAn
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.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJlqjw4OF
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eiRh9NI3R
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHMZ3Q0noj
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMyFCPO9Po
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxURzDtSQho
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8HylWHWJ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3oe6J7ADv
