It’s been a long day,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DdWMGYE2L
and I’ve got little to say.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0WaulOaE
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45ZLVTKGI
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdneJcTTgDI
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEon6PDv7sm
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL06uQFHEV
1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYg0r4UmYo
No words dared to part from our lips1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmc5ogGh2
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeWIpdP6du
We listened to Music together silently,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYskJBrDMUd
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDZ2sCWA5p
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GlzwkPhdW
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mlxNGodjg
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaDW7EdwA0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv2EEg1o0T
I hear their every songlike word.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDtYC9oId
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfB4dF84r
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCAaF35X8r
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxkdbOk87w
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprPBSKRumf
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv8jwIuhdY
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzco9sTpnH
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34xyOSi3Et
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOq5FHUPP
I like to take things nice and slow,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpeB1nzK1
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw7T027uvG
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboEmNVlkkz
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHYbmXMm6f
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7lDFCJfsv
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsPzEmiFIY
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdDYWnULrU
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpv56FiFEA
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKGndze6MT
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBbS5AC1e
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Otk61PI0
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbqHwxFEBr
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMyTml04zB
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.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdYqI32uI9
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbcZFUaZSQ
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Ei4BP8ib
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiHHuiVmbn
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83FY4Zxb4f
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSgm2W9d32
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVXaqy49s
