Me Julie

In a world filled with shattered promises and destroyed hopes, there existed a unique way of addressing one's significant other. In this world, known as the world of birds, each male participant would call their female partner by a single name: "Me Julie." 

This endearing term was like a secret language, understood only by those who were part of this unconventional society. It was a way of showing affection and devotion, a way of declaring that this person was the one for them, the one they would fly with forever.

And so, as the sun set over the treetops and the birds nestled into their nests, the world of "Me Julie" continued on, a beautiful and complex tapestry of love and loss, of happiness and heartache, all expressed through a single, simple name.
