I wanted to be next to you right now, in your arms. I want to be with you.
Let's meet up and have a wonderful time, weekends and days spent together, just you and me.
I understand it's quicker than a decision, but I've made my decision and I don't want to wait alone.
We can wake up next to each other.
First of all, I thought about you meeting me at the airport with a sign with my name,
hug me tightly, and kiss me, imagining the taste of your lips.
I closed my eyes and imagined you kissing me, I think it would be passionate.
You don't have to buy flowers when we meet; they're not as important as the most important thing: you meeting me at the airport.
I didn't say my favorite flowers are pink peonies.
I can cook dinner, let's grab a bottle of wine, I'm already looking forward to this day.
I want to tell you, my dear, that with your arrival my life has become filled with meaning,
and I've realized how necessary it is for me to know that you are here on this Earth.
And how divinely beautiful, how intoxicatingly beautiful it is to hear your words of love.
I only have to close my eyes, and I feel you close, so close.
I hear your breath, your scent, I feel the warmth of your skin, the tenderness of your hands, and the passion of your lips.
I want to rejoice with you when everything is going well, and be sad when something doesn't work out.
I'm so looking forward to the moment when we meet.
I just looked at the tickets. As I already said, there are no flights from my city where I live because of the war.
I looked at flights from Moscow, and there are no direct flights to you.
I was very surprised probably because of Russian sanctions, perhaps only transfers.
The most affordable transit connections are in the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.
I looked at the ticket prices, and now I understand that I should have looked at the tickets first.
Now I don't know if I'll be able to buy tickets.
At first, I calculated and thought I could cover all the expenses myself, but now I realize that's impossible because of the prices.
I paid for medical insurance and renewed my biometric passport, which allows me to fly to you without a visa.
To fly, I have to take a train in Moscow, which is also quite expensive.
Since the only flights from the airport are in Moscow.
I would apply for a loan, but as you already know, I'm a Moldovan citizen, and no bank will give me a loan here.
I really wanted our meeting; I spent my entire salary plus the bonus I received from work for my vacation, which starts in two days,
and I realize that now I'm in a situation where I can't control anything.
I'm embarrassed and uncomfortable talking about this, but without your help, I probably won't be able to pay for the tickets.
Well, I've considered all the options for covering all the expenses myself: work colleagues, a bank loan,
but I'm sorry to report that no one can help, and I'm left with no other option but to ask you for help.
I was thinking about how you could buy the tickets yourself and send them to me,
but there's a problem with the sanctions between Russia and your country,
so that's not possible. When you buy the tickets, they'll just be cancelled at the airport.
So the tickets would have to be paid for in cash at the airport or online from my account with my full name as the passenger.
Terrible laws due to the sanctions between the countries. I'm sorry to say that.
I hope you understand. Can you help me with the money for our meeting?
Don't be angry with me, but I see no other option but to ask you for help with our meeting.
I'm so sad, I really wanted to come to you and get to know you better in person.
Our first kiss, our hug at the airport, our time together.
I hope you want our meeting as much as I do. It's important for me to know this, and that's why I'm asking for your help.
I'll consider the cheapest tickets so that facilitating our meeting won't be a problem.
I understand your thoughts about the impossibility of transferring money to Russia due to sanctions.
But as I already said, I'm a Moldovan citizen.
You can use my Moldovan account to transfer money and also use online banking according to the details.
I'll await your decision. I'm sorry I let you down. I thought I couldn't pay for everything myself, but now that's not possible.
Please don't think I'm rushing this meeting; now is the time we need to meet to become even closer.
I'm sad and upset today, and I hope you'll find a solution for how we can be together.
Our meeting is a big step in our relationship. I look forward to your letter. With love, forever yours, Irina
