EXTREMELY IMPORTANT A/N: This is both a goodbye letter from England to America and a last fic (also a goodbye of sorts) from me (D.J., aka Spazzkitty). Thank you to my fans, my friends, and everyone who reviewed, favorited, or supported me. I am permanently leaving this account and moving on to a new one, where I will not be writing Hetalia any longer (most likely. You never know). My dear friend Roka should be updating my stories in my stead. I'm sad to leave behind this part of my life, but when you finish a chapter in a book, you must move on to the next part or you'll never know how the story ends. Thank you for everything, and I wish all you the best.

Goodbye, Goodbye

To my little one, to my angel

Who is perhaps not so little any longer.

I could start this by saying

That I remember the first day we met

Though you were just a child

And perhaps you do not.

But that is cliché

And you know that I remember

("An elephant never forgets,"

You used to say to me

And I let you tease me

Because it made you smile).

I could start this by saying

That I hate you for leaving

But you could always tell when I lied

About not bringing you back presents

And the little things are not that different from the big ones.

I could start this by saying

That I feel abandoned and cold

But my pride will not allow it

And I would be embarrassed to cry on this letter.

I could start this by saying

That I still love you

(More than you know

And more than I should)

But I will either drive you further away

Or drive myself mad

Thinking about what could have been.

So instead I will just say goodbye

Goodbye, my little one,

Goodbye my angel,

Goodbye my little mockingbird

Who pushed all my others from my nest

(And from my thoughts)

And still I couldn't look away

From those flawless blue eyes.

You have left everything I had always wanted

And taken things I hadn't deigned to think of

And yet now they are all that truly matters.

My precious one,

My treasure,

My boy.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
