Tears of Regret

By Princess Celestia

Sunset, now that you are gone,
I don’t know what words to say,
I didn't really know you long,
So why am I sad you've gone away?

Our bonds were lightly tied,
But my heart ripped just the same,
When I learned you packed up all your books,
And left Canterlot that day.

I wish you would have reminisced,
On the small time that we shared,
Before you left this mystic realm,
Thinking no one cared.

I wish I could have said some words,
That saved you from your fate,
But as I cry in solitude,
I realize it’s too late.

But though I barely knew you,
Rest easy knowing you’re a part,
Of the precious box of memories,
I keep closest to my heart.
