It’s been a long day,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAmKIadFZKei
and I’ve got little to say.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8OITorjRW
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAm8BZeDSz3K
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAZwzf6DQ9zn
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31442Please respect copyright.PENANA7Lu8tnNGuW
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1442Please respect copyright.PENANADa4BmiH9LX
1442Please respect copyright.PENANAkc7OcGjmcJ
No words dared to part from our lips1442Please respect copyright.PENANAN8agNPySyr
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAeFmA1Mx1MJ
We listened to Music together silently,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAChSnY5EEOD
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAXtKxefCsXY
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAO6qfYT2x1A
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1442Please respect copyright.PENANASDbZFOYNkV
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAGbIqgx873a
I hear the chirping of the birds,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAIZZPcgEINL
I hear their every songlike word.1442Please respect copyright.PENANA5OVpCPdLBP
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAWPGQoHrS0v
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1442Please respect copyright.PENANATiwA5W645r
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAOTGcBMw1lQ
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAQaNAHl45G3
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAb5hFTDW8ew
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAWWLcFw29cL
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAi679oinSIp
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAUIKSd4G54p
I like to take things nice and slow,1442Please respect copyright.PENANADZPlk9jSrV
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAqeZ1p9BA3P
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAN78ejaD5Dh
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAKrZVWQlAj1
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1442Please respect copyright.PENANA7kAmr7ZnXn
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAt53uwc2muv
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAeMNkWHmjZL
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAzOv2pVZhQY
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAaGyDRwgjTZ
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1442Please respect copyright.PENANA8thvzHeO4d
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1442Please respect copyright.PENANARF5rZzfqDS
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAGbJpGF4InD
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1442Please respect copyright.PENANAmQdaE6PoGb
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.1442Please respect copyright.PENANA5H0LDcJcZk
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAc00mOaTudl
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1442Please respect copyright.PENANA3BFdKjcncB
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAh5DGq3MujM
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1442Please respect copyright.PENANAfgmhaUjK2h
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1442Please respect copyright.PENANArjuxY0xEdg
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1442Please respect copyright.PENANAYYHSu9pdVY
