Original comment by the creator:
Rin is a girl who have grown up in an orphanage, and she is of a cheerful disposition. Miku was an orphan and of samurai stock. She was shy and lonely girl. They were courtesans of houses in licensed quarters. They belonged to the different houses and the top courtesan of each house. They used to be friends but now they became rivals. Len was a third son of a wealthy merchant and known as a playboy around there. (He had a long hair.) Len promised Miku that he would buy her and asked her to wait for him, but he didn't come back and Miku died of a disease.
Historical Background:
The setting of the story laid is the premodern era in Japan. In those days, impoverished girls or young women were often sold and forced to be yuujo (遊女,a prostitute or a courtesan) and stay in licensed quarters where were closed districts. They were in tightly-controlled environment and didn't have any freedom to go out of the quarters or choose their lives. The ways to get out of there were to work for a definite period (normally about 10 years), to be regarded as pernicious disease, to be dead or to be bought by men who wanted to marry them or keep mistresses.

English Lyrics:
They're fragile words, aren't they?
"I'll come to take you away... Wait for me."
Though time has passed by and seasons have turned, still
I believe your word and I'm waiting
Gently falling snow danced in the night sky
Wearing kimono with open seams
Poor lonely young children shivered with their shoulders huddled together
The brightly smiling eyes
The melancholy downcast eyes
Reflected the wounds of each other and they pledged to live on
Those who beckon at evening twilight are flowers of courtesans
Butterflies of night fly around for sweet honey dews
Fluttering beautiful kimono
I lose myself, I bloom myself
I'll be the brightest blossom than anyone else and enchant them
Hey, they're fragile word, aren't they?
"Let's be together forever"
Though seasons have turned and we have grown up, still,
Can I believe your word?
Everything began on that day
The setting sun shined our promise
Not to let anyone notice my loneliness
I'm drown in a dream that never ends
On a street shined by the setting glow, I secretly fell in love
I couldn't even tell my feelings and I just gaze
Before the tenderly smiling eyes was the blossom who has a smile
With noise the hidden love broke up
To be in love with each other is a tone of the endless night
Ah, it's a fantasy of the colourless darkness
If "TO BELOVED" is "HAPINESS"
I should be… You should be…
Happier than anyone else
Ah, it's a fragile word, isn't it?
"I'll come to take you out of here... Wait for me."
Every time I am told "I love you"
I felt I could believe life was worth living
But, then, why don't you take me away with you at once…?
A meaningless cry swelled
But I couldn't put it into words and it disappeared
Corpses of pseudo love disappear as the dawn breaks
If everything had been a dream, I wouldn't have had to cry
"I'll wait for you forever"
I pledged that and made the promise at evening twilight
With the fragile blossom
It was gone
It was at dusk of the bygone day
Do you remember the promise?
"Let the two of us be side by side"
Surely, someday
Ah, what fleetingly disappeared are
The lovely blossom and the first love
Though seasons have turned and we have grown up
A permanent scar remains
At dusk of a summer day, now, the promise will never come true
I'm alone, all alone
I keep on waiting without any reasonable prospect
As we pledged it at dusk
I wish everything had been a dream…
"I'll come to take you away... Wait for me."
Though time has passed by and seasons have turned, still
I believe your word and I'm waiting
