Dear Princess Celestia,

I know that you've told me so many times before to just call you Celestia, even before I became a princess. You reminded me that to me, you weren't a princess. You were my teacher, and friend, and in many ways, like a second mother to me. But I always called you Princess Celestia. That was just who you were to me. That was just who you always were to me. And it is who you always will be to me.

After I became a princess myself, I insisted on using your title, still, even as we were meant to be equals. Leaders from other nations, though equals, still use each others' titles. And as you always taught me, practice as one plays. Especially with you.

It just felt wrong not to say 'Princess', for you. You were always the picture of regality. Even after those long nights in your study when you'd had too much Canterlot wine, and you were particularly candid with me about sensitive matters. You were still the vision of perfection in my eyes. Even after that no-so-chaste kiss that you gave me that we had both decided to forget about. But I could never forget something like that.

After some serious reflection, I feel that I don't have many regrets in my life. But among them was my inability to love you in that way. I knew I would never be able to love you as an equal, or rather, treat you any less than better-than-me. And we both knew that wasn't what you wanted. And I don't think that my feelings will change in that regard after the coronation. So please, don't let that be the motivation for your retirement.
