It’s been a long day,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxgq4k670c
and I’ve got little to say.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqizB4weD2
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lVuARo8uo
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapBUO5RHjg
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEjRTCKD5
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbOLbo008
1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwdbOmJjC
No words dared to part from our lips1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ykA7YcW6
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yYWhJVAzu
We listened to Music together silently,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8LSWYjfE
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfrZfEZvZe
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRqfkQuGR0
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HESlnKYU7
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBeonUWqFy
I hear the chirping of the birds,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVNYX44ly
I hear their every songlike word.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4fWTGsEJB
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOduqmZaAz5
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE5vQAW5X5
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropqsNBUHC
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11ZF2vUPI
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxwORntn2
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcH4P1X8MA
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuHTf5PB5h
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNyMBOLhmv
I like to take things nice and slow,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0uMlgeElG
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdefXLQKSY
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUEAmTlAe
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyawWWv1I1
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IZQfZPdrj
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFXRyzzoX
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDecyYejfh
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2sAwp81Rf
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRbbjfvD7f
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYPmC2L8UO
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFBb41SxFn
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeSScRfHUj
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTYiArmYO5
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.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSb2k4UJjA
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4sTnYy86F
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqRfQ1lVzf
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocLYflhXr9
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbdXMO6HY
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT1Bw2Ks9i
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1828Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0tx0N7YVa
