그대가 맞는지 믿기지 않고
우연이 허락한 선물
불러보고 싶던 그대
이름, 인사, 안부
용기내 건넸죠
햇살 가득한 첫 만남 그날처럼
잘 지내고 있었는지
여전히 미웠는지
물어보고 싶던, 매일 쌓여만 가던
지난밤 모두
우리 웃었던 추억 속에
점점 물들어가 옅은 미소를 띠죠
돌아오고 있죠
내 하나뿐인 기적
그대 (그대) 없이도 (없이도)
살아갔었겠지만
그대 없이는 oh, no
사랑할 수 없었죠
잘 지내고 있었는지
여전히 미웠는지
물어보고 싶던, 매일 쌓여만 가던
지난밤 모두
우리 웃었던 추억 속에
점점 물들어가 옅은 미소를 띠죠
돌아오고 있죠
내 전부였던 기적
입술조차 떼는 게 쉽진 않죠
눈물이 흐를 것 같아
전해주고 싶던
이제야 아는 (이제 알게 된)
우리 모습 (너와 나)
다투곤 했었던 모습조차 사랑이었단 걸
너무 보고 싶었다고
너를 품에 안고서
나밖에 몰랐던, 너무 어렸었단 걸
이제야 알죠
다시 익숙해진대도 (바래진대도)
함께 할 수 있어 모든 게 고맙다고
말해 줄 거예요
나의 기적은 그대
The lyrics to Wendy's song "Miracle" talk about the feeling of finally finding happiness that was considered impossible. The singer expresses disbelief in whether it's actually true or not. The person they've been longing for and wanting to call out to is finally there, and they gather the courage to say their name, greet them, and ask how they've been.
The first meeting with this person, filled with sunshine, reminds the singer of the dark night they had before. They want to know if they've been doing well and if they still feel the same way towards them. Every night, these questions have been piling up. In the memories of them laughing together, the singer sees their smile slowly fading away. But now, they feel like it's coming back, as if their one and only miracle is returning.
The absence of this person would have meant the singer would have continued living, but without them, they couldn't love. They want to know if they've been doing well and if they still feel the same way towards them. In the memories of them laughing together, the singer sees their smile slowly fading away. But now, they feel like it's coming back, as if their one and only miracle is returning.
They mention that it wasn't easy to let go, even their lips find it hard to separate. Tears are about to flow because there are things they want to convey. Now they finally understand that even the fights they had were a form of love. They wanted to see them so much, to hold them in their arms. They didn't know anything else, they were so young back then. But now they understand.
Even if they become familiar with each other again, even if things change, they can be together and be grateful for everything. They will express their gratitude, saying that their miracle is the person they love.
