I looked down at the six graves before me. It was something I had long since accepted but wished had never happened. The rain ran down my mane and tail dropping to the floor slowly. I placed a bouquet of flowers on each grave. Why did they die the way they did? I remembered their bright, young smiling faces and smiled myself. That was years ago. When I was younger and stronger. Now I was a weak, scrawny old colt. I broke down and layed on the ground.
"I'm so sorry." I sobbed. It was all my fault. I had caused it all. They died trying to save me from myself. I had changed. They tried to stop me and in doing that they died themselves. "I shouldn't have done what I did. It was wrong. I should have seen myself. I should've listened but I didn't." I felt a hoof on my shoulder.
"I'm sure if they could hear you they would forgive you." A voice said behind me. I turned to see Princess Celestia. 
"I...just wish...I could see them...again." I struggled to find the words. Celestia looked at me sadly.
"I know." She said. She put her hooves around me and placed her head on my shoulder. We stood there for what felt like hours. Then I said it. The words I had been avoiding since my friends had died.
"I'm sorry, Mom."

The light of life always goes out but the light of friendship shines on - Princess Celestia

The light of friendship flickers on
Even when the light of life goes out
My dearest friends you will be missed
I will always Remember you
For the rest of my life
You wander on in the afterlife 
Remembering the times you had
Never forgotten
Always missed
