Do You Remember?

Do you remember when we were happy to see each other? When we would make excuses to meet out int he garden for a little time together? Do you remember the way you used to grin at me and give me the most adoring look?

I remember. I remember the way my heart used to soar when seeing you. I remember the way I longed for you, the way I wanted to be with you always.

Do you remember those days? When we were young and love was the most wonderful thing to us? When we had no reason to dislike each other?

Do you remember how, after Mother and Father died, I shunned you? I apologize for that. Your tricks and pranks were good, but I wasn't up to them at the time. Do you remember how you tried to console me and I yelled at you?

Do you remember the day you killed your first pony? The day you decided to become a tyrant instead of a king? The day that you went too far and I could no longer forgive you? Isn't it funny how a thousand years and more can change a pony's perspective?

Do you remember our first kiss? It was in the garden where you eventually wound up. You said the flowers were beautiful, second only to me. Do you remember?

Do you remember the way that guard caught us snogging? My rear was sore for weeks afterwards, but Mother wasn't as mad as she pretended. Back then you were a perfectly nice young chaos monster.

Do you remember the day I told you I hated you? You should, it was the same day my sister and I brought the Elements of Harmony to bear against you. Do you remember that? The first time we wielded the power, uncontrolled, and turned you to stone.

More importantly, do you remember the thousand years you were like that? Do you remember with your immortal mind the way every single second passed? Do you remember seeing me come out to weep in front of you, because my only friend was gone?

Do you remember?
