It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhUoymZapY
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xwX8xRI7G
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoPenKpGPd
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHhlZMn6k6
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcY57LXlll
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSav9XbDrNn
1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWvpRjB9WG
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf47trcCn7
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynNx3WKsk
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMvcGWcbwn
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EcEglIMmU
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBpgFW6vfR
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGl7KZj5a
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsOCpe7EL0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8JluXzykT
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjB9wioFSH
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8zNFuNDnU
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6UVJb1v6F
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl6JP183kk
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFLHSA0AdF
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetuwvi563
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SnnWHDSea
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeeRwC2Zro
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbSLxi7dAn
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0maNdNbgGT
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAoDZIFEBl
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPob3HIOIY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyT7ii5hv
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyx4MvOZxF
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDeYeNHQtg
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9iVkQr6F
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSdk58PezN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKgUznXJ8
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQr4WYqvy
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tAVZ4qQ0p
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7qJGF5Ky
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdp0Oxp8Yk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwh9wHBrbw
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mbP01ozH
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJdgmDnf3S
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4aD0Fwr8
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpGFTvCOMz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIbJRmh7R
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mAPtfB0s
