England's Diary

Dear Diary,

We never expected it to end this way, but it happened anyways. I suppose that's life, you can't control it, even though we tried. You could call us arrogant, idiotic, or even fools for even attempting to control life, and you'd be right, I cannot deny that. Yet we tried, and because we tried we just ended up ensuring that it happened.

I remember the people that did it, they aren't bad people, trust me, they were just doing what they had to do. They were just doing what had to be done, what was inevitable. They tried to help us avoid this fate, but we had messed it up to much, and refused their much needed help.

Now that I look back on my long, long life I realize that they have always been there, guiding, helping, protecting, anything they could do to help us. Always in discrete of course, but always there, always pushing us that extra mile, like the parents we never knew, or don't and will never remember.

I know it's too late now, but I wish that I had said the things that I had kept inside. I don't know you, but I think that I'll tell what I wanted to say, because it really doesn't matter anymore: I always wanted to tell America that he was always my favorite little brother, and that he still is, even if he still hates me after his Revolution; I wanted to tell France that I've never hated him, even though it seems like I do 99.9% of the time, and that, in some bizarre way, I just might see him as an older brother; I've also wanted to apologize to Canada, for always forgetting him, confusing him with America, for forcing him away from France when he was younger, and everything else that I have wronged him of.

Why didn't we listen to them, WHY! We could have avoided this, we could have, but we didn't! How could we have been so stupid, why did we continue! We knew how it would end, but we didn't do anything, we should have trusted them. We should have, we should have! It shouldn't have ended like this, but it did, and I know why.

I wonder if anybody will remember us old countries?
