Courtship in the Lunar Court

It is remarkable how quickly things can change,
Looking back on my life from even weeks ago feels strange.

I was one of many who followed Celestia here,
To prepare ourselves and Canterlot for the return of her sister.

I’ve always been serious about my training and station,
And it was this dedication that saw me elevated.

But, it was also this that, in some ways, left me behind,
As in relationships I never had the interest or time.

Yet as soon as I looked at Silver that first night,
I was overwhelmed by emotions I couldn’t quite identify.

It feels strange to say that it was love at first sight,
But it does remind me of a legend among my kind.

They say that when a pony is born a star is born with them,
And at some point seeks another and forms a connection.

It is only under the moonlight that ponies can see it true,
And recognize the other their star is bound to.

I can’t say for sure that’s what happened,
But I don’t think it’s the worst explanation.

I suppose that we shall see in time,
If to Silver’s star mine is entwined.
