We had known each other just ten days
When I booked our flights to Montreal.
Four nights passed in a dream,
And by the end, love quietly found us.

Six months together felt like a lifetime,
Until I let it slip from my grasp.
Two months without you stretched on,
And I unraveled for countless more.

A year has now passed since we first met,
Yet every moment is filled with your absence.
A year since I last held love in my hands—
And I would wait a lifetime to hold it again.


— Sincerely, Boris
