The Bluebird and the Cicadas' Song

She said ordinary lives didn't need miracles.

Then, one summer, two boys stepped into her world.

One was like the song of cicadas, loud and passionate, filling her lonely youth with countless promises of “I'm here.”

The other was like a bluebird, quiet and gentle, carrying secrets no one knew and answering fate's gift with the gentlest of guardianship.

As youth came to an end and parting drew near,

she finally understood: some people come into your life to make you believe this world deserves to be treated with tenderness.
