It’s been a long day,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dwg3kDNRD
and I’ve got little to say.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBHpur9bjg
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kzqOTVHMT
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRgrq6jUJh
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZg3HWuADf
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt7d81fHHA
1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv59VCIka0
No words dared to part from our lips1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDka5CFkjEz
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTbgjkACAr
We listened to Music together silently,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBIP30y3aC
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSk8k2gwxV
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKenO1qTdxx
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaWXhEIuMn
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkX1UNhVaZ
I hear the chirping of the birds,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEeSExgysn
I hear their every songlike word.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQo5mLvNMh
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0q4YcFX0n
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQA91aw42
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0rmyKy28g
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttY2KecA7D
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGYlXcIHXy
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTDYms1Cb
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftVLHJe51D
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs3KWWgb9l
I like to take things nice and slow,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAMTcxjhjT
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6lpd1ZjNp
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSzSwgp8EG
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJnBNd3ukd
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyqW36aJmj
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASNaomssx
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS39xWI262
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvzyhaEPq8
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfTK68PoJ
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwHEcVwlH9
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXF9yoWeK
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEYJ8WwUeF
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkPdUedW1k
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.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZUo95P5Fw
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaZa7lCjGF
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslfc9fa9aM
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBb01xhK4N
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvMYuRLzkn
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz9CzNXtpl
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbhCfggTSF
