The beginning of the story

The story had started in August 2000, when I've met a guy named Alexey and we started to live together... We were living and living and living and nothing had happened... We loved each other but something had stopped us from getting married and from start a family... That had been lasting till 26.05.2006 when I suddenly did understand - the relations are dead. There was nothing sweet between us anymore... I gethered all my things and moved away from him...That was awfull...
