  1. >The very best thing, you had come to realise, was something so much simpler than all those grand fantasies you had spent weeks planning
  2.  
  3.  
  4.  
  5. >From the moment that pink crazy horse crashed through your window, until you finally embraced your match, you had spent every waking moment fretting over ways of showing your love and devotion
  6.  
  7. >It was all you could think about, during your weeks of acclimation in the Crystal Empire
  8.  
  9. >You were about to have a mare
  10.  
  11. >A lifelong partner, a romantic relationship, a future wife
  12.  
  13. >You needed to show her exactly how important she was to you
  14.  
  15. >She needed to understand just how deep your commitment really was
  16.  
  17. >There could be no doubt in her mind that you would truly love her forever
  18.  
  19.  
  20.  
  21. >So you planned, each idea grander and more intricate than the last
  22.  
  23. >You wrote poems
  24.  
  25. >Practiced speeches
  26.  
  27. >Researched the very best picnic spots in her little town
  28.  
  29. >You got Cadence to make reservation to a high-class restaurant, to celebrate your first week together
  30.  
  31. >You even tried composing a love song (bit of a failure)
  32.  
  33. >You planned for the first time you’d carry her to bed in the home you two shared, to make love for the first time
  34.  
  35. >You almost went so far in your frenzy to make everything perfect that you started planning your wedding
  36.  
  37.  
  38.  
  39. >And then the day finally came, and you two met
  40.  
  41. >And you realised that all your worries and all your doubts were hollow from the start
  42.  
  43. >You clicked, instantly, and life with her just swept you away
  44.  
  45.  
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. >And now you’re here, and now it’s now
  50.  
  51. >Five months you’ve been together
  52.  
  53. >It’s a lazy saturday afternoon, and you’re resting on the couch
  54.  
  55. >Your mare is lying on top of you, half-snoozing
  56.  
  57. >She’s using your shoulder as a pillow
  58.  
  59. >And you realise that this, right here, is the very best thing
  60.  
  61.  
  62.  
  63. >You did indeed do most of the stuff you planned, and your mare was thrilled
  64.  
  65. >The fancy restaurants where great, and so were the picnics
  66.  
  67. >The other activities had been fun to
  68.  
  69. >But you understand something now, that you didn’t before
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. >All that other stuff didn’t really matter
  74.  
  75. >You had thought that your love, and your life together, would be formed and remembered through those grand events that you had so carefully planned
  76.  
  77. >But you understand now that the greatest moments are seldom created in the greatest of settings
  78.  
  79. >Those times that really matter, the times you and your mare will look back at over the years, are more simpler
  80.  
  81.  
  82.  
  83. >Like right now
  84.  
  85. >Your mare dozing off ontop of you, in the home you share together
  86.  
  87. >Her warmth on your chest
  88.  
  89. >Her soft breath
  90.  
  91. >Her steady heartbeat, echoing your own
  92.  
  93. >These are the times you live for
  94.  
  95.  
  96.  
  97. >This, you realise, is the very best thing
