Yang Nawenjun Was Born Before I Was Born

You were born before I was born, but I was born before you were old. You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early. You were born before I was born, but I was born before you were old. I wish I could live with you at the same time, but I will be with you every day. I was not born before you were born, but I was already old when you were born. I am far away from you, but you are separated from me by the corner of the ocean. I was not born before you were born, but I was already old when you were born. It turns into a butterfly to look for flowers, and roosts on fragrant grass every night.
