Bil i t͡seloval

On mechtal o schastʹe. I vsë ego obeshchalo: i vëdra s nart͡sissami na stoĭke bara, i ostryĭ zapakh prelesti, naglosti, ranimosti, razlityĭ v klube, i para-troĭka "long-aĭlendov", i chuvstvo uverennosti, chto li͡ubit i li͡ubim toĭ edinstvennoĭ, kotorai͡a seĭchas daleko. On mechtal. No tolʹko apreli͡a v serdt͡se ne bylo. Kak ne bylo oshchushchenii͡a, chto po-prezhnemu i͡un. Kak ne bylo very, chto li͡ubovʹ nastoi͡ashchai͡a. Chtoby zaglushitʹ ostrui͡u bolʹ nesvershivshegosi͡a i utrachennogo, on reshil, chto prosto khochet khorosho provesti ėtot vecher.
