In a very small town, where two young lover stays, they went to the seaside watch the sun raises everyday, evening says goodbye to the sun as it sets, every one who pass by them will envy what their life.

But one day, the couple is involve in a car accident, puts the girl into coma after the serious injury, she did not wake up after a few days, lying motionless on the bed. Daytime, the boy will be sitting beside the bed, holding her hands, waiting beside her to wake up, hoping that she will gain conscious; at night, the boy went to the town’s church to pray silently to the God, wish that the girl will wake up soon, with his tears had begun to dry out day by day, night by night.

A month past, the girl is still in coma, and the boy had no more ideas to help the girl, but he kept repeating his days and nights beside the girl’s bed and praying to the God. Until one day, the God is touch by this boy, so He helps the boy, asking the boy, “Are you willing to exchange your life with the girl’s life?” Without second thought, the boy answered yes. The God said, “Well, I can make the girl wake up, but you must turn into a dragonfly for three years, will you agree?” Once again the boy answered yes.

Morning came, the boy had changed into a dragonfly, he said goodbye to the God and flew to the hospital, the girl had finally woke up, and talking with the doctor, but he cannot hear what she says.

A few days later, the girl discharge from the hospital and fully recovered, but she isn’t happy. She kept on looking for the boy, asking around the people in town, but nobody knows where the boy is. The girl looks for the boy for the whole day, while the boy that had changed into a dragonfly can only fly around the girl, not able to cry, shout, hug her, he can only watch her silently. Summer leaves, and winter coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, the dragonfly had to leave. So he went to the girl’s house, flew to her shoulder. He tried to use his wings to touch her face, use his small lips to kiss her forehead, but the girl did not notice the tiny little dragonfly.

After winter came summer, the dragonfly flew back to the small town, looks for the girl. But, when he found the girl, besides her stood a tall and handsome man, at that time, the dragonfly drop from the air, heart broken. The man is the doctor that is in charge of the girl during the girl was admitted into the hospital.

The dragonfly is very sad, the following days, he saw the doctor and the girl sat side-by-side on the beach to watch the sun sets, but he can only sat on the girl’s shoulder, can’t do anything. The summer for this year is extraordinary long, the dragonfly flew around sadly everyday, he does not has any courage to fly near the girl anymore.

Third year summer came, the dragonfly did not went to look for the girl anymore. The girl’s shoulder placed by the doctor’s hand, her cheek’s is kiss softly by the doctor, she doesn’t even notice there is a sad dragonfly on beside her, as well as doesn’t wish to think about the boy anymore.

The God’s promise of the dateline is coming soon. Until the last day, the girl marries with the doctor.

The dragonfly flew into the church quietly, he heard the girl said, “I do.” And looking at the doctor as the doctor slip the wedding ring into her little fingers, and they kiss. While the dragonfly cries.

The God said, “Are you regret now?” The dragonfly answered, “No!” The God reply him happily, “Well, tomorrow you will be back to normal as a human being.” The dragonfly shook his head, “Just let me be dragonfly for the rest of my life…”

Sometimes, when we need to let go, we should let it go. Not every story will have a happy ending.
