It’s been a long day,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAY0AcB3TziJ
and I’ve got little to say.1820Please respect copyright.PENANA6MfheFFUPV
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAFxQXCTs67H
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAVLUksGSa9e
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31820Please respect copyright.PENANACUkSCNZYid
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAdZjjm9Rw1a
1820Please respect copyright.PENANAZvUSNhL98e
No words dared to part from our lips1820Please respect copyright.PENANAKrijm4eDUr
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAy4qXX4vARP
We listened to Music together silently,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA0UZj1CxE7Y
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAeX5Q6ivAKa
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAi9LeZKbNZ9
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1820Please respect copyright.PENANANdMoMpSfgx
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAfVIrhvFdT7
I hear the chirping of the birds,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA6X77GCUltB
I hear their every songlike word.1820Please respect copyright.PENANA1CmSbU8c8C
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAqP3QVUzFVI
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA6jr21ojjnI
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAzNQF4vrAPZ
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAeDpgYVzPQz
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAXky0jTxX0R
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA3OvG3NlkFN
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAtiisbxaysU
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1820Please respect copyright.PENANA50mNhUgiFU
I like to take things nice and slow,1820Please respect copyright.PENANANBjrfRhHMc
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1820Please respect copyright.PENANALNjY3uJgeu
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA3iNVuXJuRK
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAzFJgiuzErB
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1820Please respect copyright.PENANA32u9AAXZly
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAglz2K2QAbg
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAml65MYeciP
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAkBTFub8ROf
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAfMkwuvxPcr
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAueuhNSnkHX
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1820Please respect copyright.PENANA5tzMOdUsO3
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAPp14KLlzZ8
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1820Please respect copyright.PENANABNKV4n6qmr
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.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAvb1YJ41Gnl
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAB69SyrjQeL
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1820Please respect copyright.PENANAM6XUdFlOmn
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1820Please respect copyright.PENANA7WGujU3Jv1
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1820Please respect copyright.PENANA7vK0kihBXB
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1820Please respect copyright.PENANAWVAyxECTm5
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1820Please respect copyright.PENANAaEv0B70lvn
