Poems that love each other but can't be together.

1, "You gave birth to me before I was born, but I was old when I was born."

You were born before I was born, and I was old when I was born. You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early. You were born before I was born, and I was old when I was born. Hate is not born at the same time. Hello every day. I was born before you were born, but you were born when I was old. I am far away from you, and you are far away from me. I was born before you were born, but you were born when I was old. Become a butterfly, look for flowers every night and live in the grass.

2. Translation

I wasn't born when you were born. You were old when I was born. We are too old to get married, so when we meet, you regret that I was born too late, and I regret that you were born too early. I wasn't born when you were born. You were old when I was born. Unfortunately, they were not born at the same time, and the age difference is not big. I can walk hand in hand with you every day. I wasn't born when you were born. You were old when I was born. I look at you from afar, and you are far away. I wasn't born when you were born. You were old when I was born. I hope I can't become a beautiful butterfly in one day and rest on flowers and plants every night.
