Dear Holy Rome,

It's been a few years since I last wrote to you. Please don't think that I have forgotten you, it's just that I really haven't had much time and it just slipping further and further down my to-do list. No, that isn't completely true. I've been putting this letter off hoping something would change, but it hasn't. And I'm finally forcing myself to sit down and tell you about it because it's partially about you. But first, I want write about how Germany is doing.

A third version of the Berlin Wall was recently erected. Replacing the concrete blocks and barbed-wire is a stronger concrete wall supported by steel girders. It's even harder to scale than both of its predecessors; many have tried, and most, sadly, have failed.

The hope in Germany's heart grows dimmer with each passing day. He tells me that he believes that Germany will be so divided and different when the East is finally freed, that it may not want to reunify with him. I told him not to think like that; his people love him, and this hard time away from him would just be more reason to go back to him. He said he hopes I'm right. I do, too.

Now, on to the other matter. Those feelings I have been having about Germany have yet to go away. If anything they have grown. I no longer believe this is just a feeling of understanding and sympathy. It's is more than that, despite how much I wish it wasn't. The three of us, Holy Rome, Germany, and I, have had a great long history together and we will forever be linked to one another. It is the link between you and Germany that makes this so difficult. I don't want the undying feelings I have for you be my reasoning behind liking Germany.

I don't want to be in love with anyone else at all. You are the only one I have ever loved, and I want it to stay that way. The fact that he both is and isn't you has confused me greatly. I don't know what to do, and I don't know what to feel.

I need your guidance, Holy Rome. I feel so lost.
