you, who is free, chose to fly.
with beautiful wings fluttering in the sky.
Under the sunlight that's radiant,
you dance with colors so vibrant.

I just watch you from the distance.
reaching you, I believe in that chance.
And so i decided to change,
color myself and decided to fly.

"Fly up to the sky!" I cried.
No matter what, at least I tried.
This is but a rare opportunity.
I won't give up while my hands are empty.

I've reached the sky, finally.
"What a view, what beauty!"
I was enchanted by the scenery.
Those marvelous clouds mesmerized me.

It doesn't matter, that beautiful view.
For what I want to see is you.
All around, I looked for your trail.
Losing hope, i said, "Please, don't let me fail"

Then I saw a mixture of colors
on those beautiful wings of yours.
You gracefully asked me,
"Are you lost?"

That voice filled my inner being.
The joy you suddenly bring,
that smile that's slowly appearing,
as we started talking.

"Fly up to the sky!"
What joy I feel when we're together.
Gosh! you've made me feel better.
"Now, this is life!"

These moments, I will treasure.
This bond, I hope you'll assure.
But then, why should I trust
on this bond that won't really last?


You've met other butterflies filled with beauty.
Unlike me, who's just a wanna-be.
You said, "Come, let's fly, us both."
I smiled and said, "But, I'm a moth."

"Fly up to the sky!"
I've stressed my wings too much.
It won't move anymore.
I've used up my strength.

Now, with other butterflies, you fly.
"Fly up to the sky!"
As I was left to crumble and die.
Now, this is but a good bye.
