My dear Wouter!
What a wonderful letter you sent me! Just receiving it always
brightens my day makes me smile and laugh and generally be happy. But
when I realise how you are feeling it makes me even happier. There are
no thoughts of the doom and gloom that surround us only the joy of the
prospect of being with you some time soon. I think May is a wonderful
time for our meeting. The Ukrainian weather is usually gorgeous in
May. I'll be having my finalexams in June, so my study won't be very
hectic for me in May, I believe. I do appreciate your inviting me to
Netherlands. I'll be glad to visit you as soon as I graduate from the
University. Will you wait for me, please? :-) It's very nice of you to
plan and dream about our meeting. I must confess that I do think of it
too much myself. Along with everything else going on in my life these
days, I daydream of our meeting constantly. Just playing out the
images of places that we'll be seeing and amazing food and drinks that
we'll enjoy and special time that we'll share together. Celebrating
our patience and chance meeting of one another and really confirming
why we're attracted to each other. Because pictures are great but when
we actually meet each other in person, we'll actually see each other
little bit differently. I'll notice little things like how wonderful
your eyes shine and how strong and gentle to touch your arms are. And
you might notice something new about me. :-) Whatever the littlest
things we notice, we'll further confirm in our minds what the future
holds for us. It will take us a while to get used to each other's
presence because we already have some preconceived images of one
another. But I'm sure that we'll get along wonderfully.
I'll be more than pleased to hear your voice on the Saint Valentine's
Day. Would you call me at 2 p.m. by Ukrainian time? It's the time my
lessons end. Usually some of my group mates and me go to the library
after the lessons, so I'll be able to speak with you before attending
the library.
How did you spend the week-end? Had anything exciting happened to you?
Had you thought of me sometime? :-) We had an amazing weather all over
the week-end. It was like the spring had come. I went to my granny's
place and we spent all the time talking and baking pancakes. I believe
you will visit my granny's house and see her garden when you come
here.
It is raining today in Lugansk. When I went outside today I felt the
gentle drops on my face and thought about us standing in the rain and
holding each other close to keep warm. A smile broke out on my face as
I pictured us together holding each other. Dear Wounter, I enjoy our
correspondence . I feel excited to discover your inner beauty. It's an
experience like no other I have to tell you. I didn't think that I
would meet such a great person inside and out.
Please, don't feel sorry that the parcel you've sent me won't have
come by the Saint Valentine's Day. I do value every gesture of your
attention and care. I'll be looking forward to reading the letter and
enjoying the book about Netherlands. I believe it has many pictures.
:-)
Warmly,
Ira.
