You fly forth on wings of dreams
I'm a fool trying to catch you,
But you are not a butterfly
You will not be a part of my collection,
And so further you drift away from me
Yet I continue to chase after you,
You who floated into my dreams
Beautiful winged fairy,
Unattainable and unreachable
Why did you ever cross my path?
Now I'm caught in an endless pursuit
Will I ever hold you within my grasp?
But as long as your image is there
I will continue in this vicious circle,
Following you wherever you may be
And if I ever take hold of you
I will never let go,
For you are my shooting star
My everlasting dream,
But fly away and be merry
For I do not wish to intercede
In your path; your fiery flight,
Fly and be just within reach
I will forever give chase,
For within my restless dreams
I will always love you...
