Letters From the Path of Loss

6th, Three Months After Death

My dearest Rainbow Dash,

I am so so sorry. I don’t know what got into me the other day. That letter was just unfair to you, I feel so bad. Knowing how you are, you’ve probably already forgiven me, and yet I can’t really forgive myself. It was difficult for you to hold a grudge against any of your friends. You were amazing and I miss you. I’m sorry.

I’ve been sitting here for a while, just pondering about life and its fragility, as if I were some noble philosopher. I’m really just a mare, a simple mare who misses her wife. What I wouldn’t give to have you back. I’d throw away my magic just to have you back, I’d give up anything.

Just look at me, so weak. Then again I am just one unicorn, and it is entirely natural for me to go through the stages of grief. I’ve finished with denial, I’m past anger, and now I’m trudging through bargaining.

It feels unfair, how many ponies get to go through life with their special somepony by their side? How many get their little happily ever after? And I’m just left here alone. Why couldn’t have just been me instead. Actually no,that’d leave you in the position I’m in, and I couldn’t wish that upon anypony. Instead, if only the sickness that too you took me as well, then neither of us would be without our other half.

It’s just so lonely. I’ve looked and looked, there is no possible magic that could bring you back, nothing that could reverse time to before you got sick. I’d do anything to have another moment with you.

I love you Dash.

With all love possible,
-Twi
