A Woman's Circle
When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.

In the inky darkness after midnight, it’s hard to decide which sounds sweeter: the tap dance of raindrops on maple leaves, or the whispering wind that rustles through them.
