It’s been a long day,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp33oMM24Q
and I’ve got little to say.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFPBKhmRZU
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsC3o5v6FZ
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqxHmSg408
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbTkrsWsny
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXICf5TXmO
1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe361LCelW1
No words dared to part from our lips1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXUA4cQIFJ
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX6cKl6bAC
We listened to Music together silently,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4J8A1wdH2
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR0nnNb0q9
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH0QpqutX4
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGgmYbXLn8
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98bfrLTYCk
I hear the chirping of the birds,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQNjhchEs8
I hear their every songlike word.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF9JmRGVY4
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1VrmhD8Ng
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrTQwsemUw
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1FJeTGfn8
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IGO5CC5TK
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uPqR4MP5V
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArIJsDzfIj
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xqpziXgD
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKfAw785wq
I like to take things nice and slow,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2EgCogQ0
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxUVMzinOR
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9YCu8qA2
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwVlVp1ujB
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bf4K10esX
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWujDu6Ujoh
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeSlbfzI2O
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mDiDUiolu
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAPgGsuJMx
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXnd2ZrrZN
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNIjfm8ByS
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIwaSW4msP
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEOclWH1p
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.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZK5psVUWL
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU3lyUBQPB
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYMoHYUhSg
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiBlQ2sliR
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul95asxKPm
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX8MogUcbx
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cg0AtnSlq
