Dear Princess Celestia,
I thought I saw you today
By the market stalls
Standing regally
In the throng of shoppers.
Head held high
Smiling pleasantly.
When I was young
You used to take me to the opera
I remember it vividly
This is a different kind of learning
You would say
That you can't find in books
Real ponies, baring their souls
Singing their hearts
And I found it hard to disagree
It couldn't have been you today
Nopony else seemed to notice
But it does make me wonder
Do you ever travel Equestria
In secrecy
To see from our eyes?
Have you ever been in love?
So fiercely it almost frightens you
That it causes such longing
As to make your heart ache.
I suppose this is as good a time as any
To tell you
The world beyond the library seems small now
The coldest winters
Warmer
With her around
Beside me
Chiding me for staying up late
When instead I should have come to bed
I never knew
There was so much more to friendship
As this
I guess you were right all along
