It’s been a long day,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXz2T21bAK
and I’ve got little to say.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1OFZdQwS
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSED3FwVbX
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSCJjasP3
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8XLiSbZN5
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASzcVlkZOW
1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKj5xmzWyo
No words dared to part from our lips1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnezPjOQR5
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpQWvxTngk
We listened to Music together silently,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DEac81gA
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtJ2uDl2wh
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jQmcfy20V
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVAswlHn1i
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjukZgeRSKv
I hear the chirping of the birds,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9CUsx1S7L
I hear their every songlike word.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lepmteGM
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakiaWNIywM
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mNvUYYme
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYarMvmqbWF
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJ5oEaAWY
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8NAHRaKa6
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPT026X6vO
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlzJ7DSMEo
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGK9bMytHX
I like to take things nice and slow,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nOAFJvVNf
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdoON6PLs2
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWry0GteY3s
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7a4LqNGF7
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr2e5veaPH
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf67kG1vQM
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kl45bau4X
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR3I2UQyxJ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbfHA6mfU1
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvBLz2Iv6
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoFsOXirUU
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf7E2WQQXf
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSrC8UkwDr
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.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u8K88nasi
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniF7BUBrWC
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMqHdIYM2k
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XXvKXp5NC
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJ1Q4hG7b
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruJKKIpIiN
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD5OVaUgOA
