Butterfly, where have you gone?
I want you home.
I want to catch you and hold you in my arms.
Please come back.
Where is my net?
It seems I have lost that too.
Butterfly...
I've lost you.
Please come back.
This green field, once beautiful and bright...
Has lost it's light because of your disappearance.
Come back to me.
Please.
I miss your presence, your company...
You make me feel...
Complete.
You've flown away...
Far, far away.
Have your wings grown tired?
Have you lost your way?
Come back to me, sweet Butterfly and make me whole,
once again.
Sweet, sweet Butterfly, have you made a mistake that caused your departure?
I wonder, if the reason is that...
If so, have you atoned, my dear Butterfly?
Have you realized what you have done?
Are you ready to return to the dark green field to return your light.
To illuminate your field and also, my heart?
Come back to me.
Come back home.
Where you belong.
Come back to your home, your home...
That lies with me.
Your place is here, in my heart, to make it flutter once more.
I love you, sweet Butterfly.
So please, come back.
Come back to my heart, come back to me.
Once you atone...
You may come home.
