It’s been a long day,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE8TgPcPNF
and I’ve got little to say.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS95DOkHPLV
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQqY5omh04
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdo5t5ZpD
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMZfdmvvBU
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOAWMwiq6E
1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Vq4Qcku2
No words dared to part from our lips1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOCPg3XNcD
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9qgNxyVN
We listened to Music together silently,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gIxRNkpoG
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ9XpAmsWm
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesR3nFWD6i
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC251YGTmb0
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wdwzuXLb
I hear the chirping of the birds,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKmR1inv3
I hear their every songlike word.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73gEcHb9nF
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgXAIN9qBC
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvkCuRfPGQ
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVp4gDwrXT
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WNGa1GCeL
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNaOa0pTeo
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdcNJoivhz
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZuM8fwtn
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nml6wrGKR
I like to take things nice and slow,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEyqvIneBA
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurgxBXAZxp
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tR9c5SCXv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4ISVQG2z
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiek899hrcs
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpFau9Ok0c
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l7dZ68ipR
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJtF91L2cH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHNwvv3Op
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrk2ncvUwx
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYZRloQC7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi8YJLeCAm
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CK7sMXOaN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLTBshvkS
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC3c0mtWmo
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLho6xZ7YAf
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof6kqnGNxV
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3IXTpJR6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRcmZbxjS4
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqP0DrfPNG
