Hello again. I know this is being uploaded at a rather late time for some people, but hey, it's Friday. This is also relatively shorter than the previous story and the stories to come, since it is a poem rather than an actual short story. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy.

This is a letter to my dear, dear friend
The one I made at my wit's end
I thought you'd promised we'd be together
But it looks like now didn't come with forever.

I just wanted to tell you how much I cared
I enjoyed every single minute we shared
And even when you got stern with me
You opened my eyes, and I could see

I remember when we did arts and crafts
You made a picture frame, I built a raft
Together we went sailing for stories
And we shared them for laughs instead of for glory.

For the first time, I had someone to call my own
I began to forget that I could not go home.
It had been my choice to enter your world
Instead of a pony, I was now a real girl!

I found myself not wanting to leave
Disregarding the fact that my pony friends would grieve
I remembered them, of course I did
But behind my new love my friendship hid.

I loved you so much, more than you know
You made me bloom, you made me grow.
But something happened that gave me a scare
And everything just went downhill from there.

Do you remember it? That cool fall night
You came home in a peculiar plight
Issues with people you'd known all your life
Had killed your joy and from it birthed strife.

This wouldn't do, I began to think
I saw how your sadness drove you to drink
You stopped being fun, you stopped being nice,
I needed to bring you back to the light.

So I got out my tools

And I bent a few rules
Just to make you smile
It was all worthwhile…

But even with this, you didn't seem glad
Matter of fact, you were even more sad
So I tried to give comfort, but you shut me out
I didn't know what you were so mad about!

And then SHE came, the one from before
Who had broken your heart, the wretched boar!
Ever so slowly, I saw your mood changing
But your state of mind still needed rearranging

This just wouldn't do, I thought to myself
I need to get her before she hurts someone else
For even though some might see it as sin
I'll gut her fish-face before she hurts you again.

So I got out my tools
And I bent a few rules
Just to make you smile
It was all worthwhile…

That didn't work either, I came to find
When you asked me if I had lost my mind
You were enraged, really blowing a gasket
Even when I tried to just look at her casket.

So you sat me down for a little chat
And a nice batch of cupcakes, at that
I didn't understand, but it rang in my ear
When you told me I could no longer stay here.

I'll admit, I was pretty upset
My hair was straighter than HERS when wet

I don't quite remember what happened after,
Besides me rolling with hysterical laughter.

All else that occurred, though, must have been real
For if it hadn't I wouldn't be able to feel
All the pain and sorrow in my heart right now
I had just wanted to show you how

Much I cared for you

How much you meant to me

How much I wanted us to do

All that I wanted us to be

So goodbye my dear friend, I wish you well on your way
Even though I wanted to be with you today.
I won't be with you again, not now, not ever

Because apparently now didn't come with forever.
