HAPPINESS OF A MAN
Happiness of a man is not in possibility to chose a woman out of a million,
Happiness of a man is in possibility to allow himself to be with the only loved one.
Out of millions there are hundreds of beauties.
Out of millions there are hundreds of jealous.
Out of millions there are hundreds of desirable.
But… they are not loved.
Out of millions there can be only one loved.
But… what happens in real life?
That one you really love is banned.
She can be a wife of your friend,
She is banned by the time,
She is banned by the distance,
She is banned by the pride or prejudice or weakness.

Ah -- apologies, Larisa -- hope my reference to Russian caused no offence -- I had a friend , a long time ago, Sveta, who came from Kiev. and I recall she was very proud of being Ukrainian, as opposed to Russian, even before Glaznost and Perestroikha -- she taught me a (very) little Russian -- I believe she married a Russian prof. at Durham University ... sadly, we lost touch over 30 years ago. I also had a Polish girlfriend, in my very early youth, called Danka (Danuta) -- many happy memories! -- I loved her mum's cooking!
