It’s been a long day,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoGIFJYoGS
and I’ve got little to say.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdeokp5gaM
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbePYkblC0
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEUK2d4ZJL
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Q4VPCRxG
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheVsxmNgYA
1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokfZu1XrIt
No words dared to part from our lips1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQwZ4vMWf
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgg1cAy0FN
We listened to Music together silently,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6XzXV1iwh
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFHMlfcnli
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFm35Aoc6f
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MqDoHkKJg
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrtKpK7R0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqbVMOpk9U
I hear their every songlike word.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡste7iA0h1U
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHZ4xRFak4
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfGQgye3T3
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdQ9EnX2kU
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ACoPsuzOq
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3389d2woz
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF3RXHmfj5
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli3v1VNNDZ
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMhmGsJuRA
I like to take things nice and slow,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IobScA0iG
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9bCDZcspR
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jpNzAXCW
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CtAlcXPQe
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYMXPslDjF
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVkSlnVmp
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX6uLOMwNV
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ogVJijZzI
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmHTigk7N
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkUPoV1M2
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUki6lJhSeK
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo57lS73CXd
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRL6ohFQx
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.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnteZPQKO06
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3oI2JSrjZ
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKgDMpOOHw
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77CyJt1Wsw
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPSRZGhK0j
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfLBA0L5lL
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1939Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuANrisjHmn
