It’s been a long day,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxjG2bzY1S
and I’ve got little to say.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjNfvULAz0
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWIygBdz39
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgSRRMSsPH
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZT2IdRDLw
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXtvGbPXk
1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTflBLPCcH
No words dared to part from our lips1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKhbSui9X
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxIBBocV9q
We listened to Music together silently,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkWkl8GgZ
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1djHT3x5Y
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo7Bo5v7J6
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqkEjbSHFT
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxvGMJmdSR
I hear the chirping of the birds,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbAzj0SNq0
I hear their every songlike word.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8TjOW31O
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGXmtRu51e
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmiXBgMeM3
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuf6IBWBwP
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkmIQD6par
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQpV7VCBgA
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR8IV4ASnN
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoPqAnq62
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0C7jLnD1K
I like to take things nice and slow,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7qVLhR2Ok
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFgGYyiuFk
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdHmGWvmMn
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDubfWHyxBS
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4H4iFeuSD
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW7jMlrWMv
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5sBf79nce
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwwqpYvOvA
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrtOd3AWK
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYUIZhU5j
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91EGFRQ1J7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdhMfjtCis
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6wiIe87tW
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.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4PyFENbq6
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvQSqTC6YY
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNU2LeZQmz
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCVC5x8gIb
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgypTxvMw3I
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fdLnEUcWI
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDFHVcxtWx
