Wait For Me...

"One day, you'll be just a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one..."

(May 2014 - Moscow Subway)

Wait for me, and I'll come back!

Wait with all you've got!

Wait, when dreary yellow rains

Tell you, you should not.

Wait when snow is falling fast,

Wait when summer's hot,

Wait when yesterdays are past,

Others are forgot.

Wait, when from that far-off place,

Letters don't arrive.

Wait, when those with whom you wait 

Doubt if I'm alive.

Wait for me, and I'll come back!

Wait in patience yet

When they tell you off by heart

That you should forget.

Even when my dearest ones

Say that I am lost,

Even when my friends give up,

Sit and count the cost,

Drink a glass of bitter wine

To the fallen friend -Wait! 

And do not drink with them!

Wait until the end!

Wait for me and I'll come back, 

Dodging every fate! 

"What a bit of luck!" they'll say, 

Those that would not wait. 

They will never understand 

How amidst the strife, 

By your waiting for me, dear, 

You had saved my life. 

Only you and I will know 

How you got me through. 

Simply - you knew how to wait – 

No one else but you…

Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia. The city is a major political, economic, cultural and scientific center in Russia and in Eastern Europe. Moscow is the northernmost megacity on Earth, the second most populous city in Europe after Istanbul and the 6th largest city proper in the world. Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia making it the world's most populated inland city. Moscow is the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence of the Russian president. The Moscow Kremlin is also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament, the State Duma and the Federation Council also sit in Moscow.

Saint Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia, politically incorporated as a federal city. It is located on the Neva River at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. In 1914 the name of the city was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd, in 1924 to Leningrad, and in 1991, back to Saint Petersburg. Saint Petersburg was founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703, Saint Petersburg was the imperial capital of Russia. In 1918 the central government bodies moved from Saint Petersburg then named Petrograd to Moscow.
