Where are you? What are you doing? Are you here beneath the sky? How did I lose you?
"What are you doing? Leave him alone!"
"I have come to take him home."
"He doesn't belong to you!"
"It's fine Ludwig. I'll be OK."
They turned away, leaving me alone.
I had taken his hand in mine, crying; remembering all those times he used that stupid smile on me. He supported me, and cared for me when I was crumbling. Now he's gone.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
"It is very unusual that you're late Germany."
"Ah! What happened to your pants?"
"What? Oh, my pants."
Japan and Italy, they looked worried. Did it affect me that much that I forgot how to dress? Could I miss him that much? That's a stupid question. He's my brother.
"Go home Ludwig. You need your rest."
What else could I do but comply?
"Where are you going brother?!"
"I'm sorry West. I have to go."
"Wait!"
I woke up in a cold sweat with my arm reached out in front of me. That memory, it hurts. Brother…
I can't listen to his pleas. I have to go.
"If I go with you, will you leave him alone?"
"If you listen to what I say."
I'm doing this for you West. Please don't forget me. You are my precious brother.
"Okay. I'll do whatever you want."
If that means he'll be happy, I'll go.
To be happy without you, has no meaning.
I will do anything to get you back, East.
Your pendant…
This wall that divides us; it doesn't make any sense. Why? Why does it have to be like this?
"Gilbert!"
"West?"
"Why are we like this?! Gilbert! Please…"
"West, this wall, its for you. I did this for you. He said that he would leave you alo-"
"No!"
"West…"
As I stare at the wall it starts to crumble. There he is with that smile on his face. I can't help but run to him, embrace him and cry.
All I could do was smile when that wall crumbled. He ran to me, embraced me and started to cry. I couldn't help it. There was nothing I could do but cry and embrace him back. I never wanted to leave.
There he is. On the hill with that stupid smile on his face. I wonder if that smile is easier for him now.
"Here. Take your pendant back."
He kissed it and I only wished that he was happy.
My pendant.
"Ludwig…I love you."
I kissed him.
Now we will stand together. Never separate again.
