1.Ephemeral, that distant paradise,
2.I want to touch it…3.
4.Even if I gently try to stroke it with my fingers,
5.The lingering flame hinders me.6.
7.Though I fall in love with your silence,
8.The fire doesn’t extinguish.9.
10.Ah… if that’s the case,
11.I’ll sink my body beside you,
12.Killing only my heart.13.
14.Ephemeral, like you,
15.So fragile that it might break if I touch it.
16.In a fleeting, sorrowful paradise,
17.I’ll watch over you.18.
19.This “kindness” with nowhere to go
20.Just drifts through my heart.21.
22.Even if it’s futile,
23.It’s the only thing I can do.24.
25.Realizing it after losing it—
26.I knew it all along, I was just a coward.27.
28.Ephemeral, like you,
29.Too late, my selfishness,
30.I couldn’t even express it,
31.And it vanished…32.
33.Even though my love for you is so true
34.That I want to trouble you,
35.I was running away
36.From the fate of an inevitable end.37.
38.Ephemeral, like a dream,
39.It was a fleeting love,
40.I’ll never let it
41.Become just a memory.42.
43.Forever.
