Once There Was a Man Who Loved Me Like His Life

Introduction

I remember that wonderful moment

You appeared in front of me

Like a fleeting phantom that vanishes as quickly as an ephemeral flower. 

Like a spirit of pure beauty.

In the torment of hopeless sorrow

In the noisy and illusory distress

Your gentle voice rings in my ears for a long time

I saw your lovely face in my dream.

Many years have passed

A violent and sudden upheaval

Dispelled the past dreams

So I forgot your gentle voice

And your fairy-like beautiful figure.

In a remote and backward area, in a gloomy and imprisoned life

My years are passing away quietly like that

There is no one to adore, and no soul of poetry

No tears, no life, and no love.

Now the soul has begun to awaken

Then you appeared again in front of me

Like a fleeting phantom that vanishes as quickly as an ephemeral flower. 

Like a spirit of pure beauty.

My heart is leaping with ecstasy

For it, everything awakens anew

With someone who has captured one's heart, and with the inspiration for poetry

With life, with tears, and with love.

                             Pushkin "To Kern"

When we are young, we often don't understand what love is.

When I was young, I once thought that love could overcome everything. At that time, I didn't understand that there is another power in the world called fate, which can only be endured and cannot be changed.

When I was in the empty school bathroom, singing "I love you more than I can say" at the top of my lungs, I didn't know that such a story would one day happen to me.

The first time I saw him was in a bloody and chaotic situation, in Odessa, Ukraine.
