Once There Was a Man Who Loved Me Like His Life

"e;Once There Was a Man Who Loved Me Like His Life"e; Dedicated to the kind people who still believe in love! 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 "e;To Kern"e; 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 "e;I love you more than I can say"e; 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.
