Russia's unsent letter
Dear Tulip,
Ялюблютебя. I never had the courage to say this to your face, and this was my biggest mistake. I should have said it when I had the time. I was too late.
But, I think deep inside, I knew that I'd never been able to have you in a lifetime of a nation. I mean, how could a monster like me ever have nice things? I had too much faith, way too much. More than I should have.
I was foolish and couldn't realize it. I couldn't realize that he tempted you. He is just a temptress, nothing more, he says that he loves you but he doesn't! He doesn't love you as I do. He only wants to use you and throw you away as he did in the past.
He likes you, but I love you. When I realized it, I was too late. I couldn't realize that I loved you. That's just how pathetic I am. He had already stolen your heart.
He always calls you names and you both fight a lot. I can't believe it. If I had you, I'd NEVER treat you like that. I'd give you more affection than you could ever imagine. He doesn't realize the treasure he holds and mistreats it. How idiotic is he?!
But don't worry my dear tulip. I will save you.
