>>22383260 The truth is, my dearest teacher, is that my feelings for You extend beyond those of an affectionate student, or those of a faithful servant. I worship You, not only as my Princess, not only as my teacher, but also as my dear, dear Celestia. I worship and love You as the beautiful, radiant and compassionate pony who took pity on the little mousy-maned unicorn you found crying in the hallway of Canterlot Castle one morning after she was bullied by the other unicorns for being unable to do even the simplest magic. I love you as the one who believed in me, when I didn’t believe in myself, the one who loved me and taught me how to love myself, the one who had the patience and kindness to help me, even though I was the bottom of my class, conquer my self-doubt and succeed. And when I cried from fear or loneliness or the pressure of my studies, it was you who nuzzled me and licked away my tears and wrapped me up in your mane. I love you, Celestia, and every day I imagine myself curled up safe and warm and loved, wrapped up in your mane just as when I was a little filly, your scent in every breath I take, the beat of your heart next to mine. But I know Your feelings for me are those of a teacher, or maybe even those of a mother, and that even if I master every aspect of unicorn magic, I will never be able to wish into existence the one thing I truly, truly wish for: for you to be my lover and to live with me and never leave me. And so I will write this letter, not on a scroll for Spike to send to you as you sit on your throne in Canterlot Castle, but on ordinary paper, with an ordinary pen, and soon, when Derpy Hooves the Mail Pony arrives, I will give it to her and maybe, just maybe, for a few moments the heavy weight of my feelings will be lifted from me and I can rest without the light of your eyes and the warmth of your scent haunting me, as it has every other night. Your faithful student (oh how painful it is to write that now!) Twilight Sparkle |
