Conan and Ai: A Belated Love

With no hope left, the butterfly can no longer cross the vast sea.

Who still waits stubbornly where they are for a love that slipped away?

I stand on this shore, where youth flows like water and years fly like arrows,

watching true love on the opposite shore arrive at long last.

That happiness rushing toward us: who are the two people who cannot escape

love delayed?
