I am the corundum—
flat and colorless and nothing
most ponies think of twice.
I never expected to catch your attention,
and yet you looked my way.

I am the corundum—
and now I see you are my chromium.
Your gentlest touch brought us together,
and we came together in beauty, in color and in fire.
We two outcasts became
something unforeseen—

Now we are a ruby.
Now we dazzle together.
