It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1djzCN1R
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hknaz56Vb
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9e5ttEIyX
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQNQHzMNYf
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6qLnFNZ4Y
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywDXItpbPj
1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwTJwKsyN
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwgXUxjMqW
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5RVrErDJ3
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9X9dYj51b
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMxar8hdrb
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxVUKQbPWv
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXp6ot82rI
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesSnp16kVW
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0SBgRvbPI
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2yO5IoS4N
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck5gSCagIO
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwozB7zoMV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8A8YZrpPZ
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGMhjHZlBf
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Ygnt5Hki
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINC636w1Rq
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcJ2pYMQr9
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZI34umQjG
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGTjVOfkWy
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISHWH4rKHU
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF2xCyCQ2V
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUH9PG7Av
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAfHt1Bkty
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYXe7EJkF5
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMhczA5aqA
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KNUxkt5Jg
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EHm0qpA2p
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI04apG1ON
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2tctMPWBL
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlllVG9cgeT
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTsJ7tKFBw
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.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg9Ax9RINr
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLoQdjs4I
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY1cbZl8gh
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8uaBN7Hwg
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pmpcpq4Z
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUnp9PzQx
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHuqDErR4f
1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Dv4nLFBc
