Do you remember that time from long ago? When I was in the cold and I was in the snow? Do you remember how my cheeks were flushed with sickness; how my clothes were in tatters? Do you remember how I looked back then, with my round face and too-tiny body? Do you remember when you used to be larger than me? Do you remember how I smiled one of my last real smiles? How I beamed it at you? Or how I already had bruises on my face and scars on my body from Him and my Games? Do you remember my promise to you? How we could be friends once I was strong enough? Did I tell you the poison He set in my mind, about what I deserved? Or what I didn't?
Do you remember that time from sort of long ago? How we were all cold, and your friend was in the snow? Do you remember how you were so scared? Do you remember how your friend mocked you, leaving you to your fate? Do you remember how scared you were when you saw me? Do you remember how big I had grown? Do you remember how I wished for you to be my friend? Or how sad I was when you forced me to beat you and the Twit up? Or how I had to drag you away? To help make you worthy?
Do you remember that time from not so long ago? When I was powerful? At the top of the world? Do you remember being scared then? Why? When didn't I give you food? Did I ever intentionally hurt you? What did I do?
Do you remember the time you left me?
Do you try not to?
Do you want to forget about me?
Why?
Did I do something wrong?
Did I hurt you?
Was it just because I'm me?
Was it because I was weak once? Undeserving?
Were you afraid of His poison? That it might seep into you?
Or did you leave because I made you remember?
A/N I have no idea where this came from. Honestly. I just got into the Hetalia fandom, and I loved Russia. Unfortunately, people always potray him as a heartless rapist or abuser. Which is stupid, because there is none of that in Hetalia. Bullying, at most.
Anywho, there are a few historical references, but all cannon, so if you're in this fandom, then you shoukd know about the Cold War, and everything. And the "He" Russia was referring to was Mongolia, by the way.
Anywho, review! Thank you!
