It’s been a long day,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAw0g4dsGXDb
and I’ve got little to say.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAhRjfpl3fQR
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAWA2sM3RaYh
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1719Please respect copyright.PENANA3DHF630NzE
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31719Please respect copyright.PENANAhmeLmmSsSV
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAoLEEy8Qdz4
1719Please respect copyright.PENANAfwjnw5SZtF
No words dared to part from our lips1719Please respect copyright.PENANA40dlNgmp0d
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1719Please respect copyright.PENANArnG1O9UbjE
We listened to Music together silently,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAo28k7gu2xB
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAaRPucccos1
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1719Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZcMCyfi1G
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1719Please respect copyright.PENANASzqt76cJqo
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAEVqH3vxCkj
I hear the chirping of the birds,1719Please respect copyright.PENANALF458fhDk7
I hear their every songlike word.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAO9JhJ5EWqL
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAKnccuyF7BI
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAxLH8wVOVzs
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAMXchKtJQkn
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAOptrxHQfYx
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1719Please respect copyright.PENANA58JGo6qcf0
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1719Please respect copyright.PENANA7msrYRqANC
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1719Please respect copyright.PENANANzJVQvzTRs
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAcORmXenHvc
I like to take things nice and slow,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAVd1pQzoFtO
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1719Please respect copyright.PENANA7eV25KybbH
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1719Please respect copyright.PENANA7T5xqFgqKa
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAw5IxxtWhdd
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1719Please respect copyright.PENANAkncR8iKmVS
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1719Please respect copyright.PENANArTmed2279k
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAY1W50dpi5u
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAwOB4A0cuVE
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAs8wagut41J
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAejm1mwaRco
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAcaduOXIrC4
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAPAcbhiF34C
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1719Please respect copyright.PENANAkXmXGMaVxr
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.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAUh1qAxnPmD
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAcl4XDqkeE1
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1719Please respect copyright.PENANA6NzZgL95vN
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1719Please respect copyright.PENANA3DT6u0QR69
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1719Please respect copyright.PENANAgVR537g1KK
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1719Please respect copyright.PENANABjhfWlNEnw
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1719Please respect copyright.PENANAKRrmG96sOn
