“Then I realized I don’t care what he says. It doesn’t matter in the slightest. Look, sound, pause. You laugh, he doesn’t laugh. That’s all… I was just afraid that one day it would all end. When he leaves. And today I realized that there is no need to be afraid. He didn’t go anywhere. He is here. With me. “Forever,” Urgant concluded.
