^ get what you're saying. But look at it from Twilight's perspective. Spike is her loyal friend. He's always willing to help her out when she really needs it, and was there for her when she first arrived in Ponyville, and has lived with her ever since. But that's the thing. She sees him everyday.

For Shining Armor it was different. He was someone that she could look up to, he was a mentor to her. He taught her things like how to fly a kite, and helped her with her magic. Spike wouldn't be able to do this. And also, she said she hasn't seen him since she moved to Ponyville. she misses him. The song is meant to add more depth to that. It was to let the audience know what their relationship was. For spike, we already know what their relationship is. Just watch Owl's Well That End's Well, and Dragon Quest. It pretty much shows that they're like family (he's like her l.b.b.f.f), and those episode worked fine without a song because we didn't need them.

Maybe a season 3 episode about when filly twi an dbaby spike first lived with celestia will have a song, but again. There's no need. We already know the history. Celestia took them both in, and they've been by each other.
