My Doctor
The Doctor took Rose's hand as the TARDIS vanished. They both stood there starring at each other unsure what to do.
"I'm getting really sick of this place." Muttered Rose looking out at the water.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
"You ok?" The Doctor asked her following her gaze out to the gray water and cloudy sky. One word came to his mind, dismal. Rose nodded.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
"Rose, I'm still me. I'm still the Doctor, not some cheap copy. I'm the same man." The Doctor squeezed her fingers and sighed.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
and I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
"Did…" Rose's voice quivered and she paused to take a breath, "Did he love me too?"
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
"Rose, I'm him. I'm me," The Doctor answered, "I love you the same. The only difference is that I'm here, with you."
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
"I know," Rose said unlinking their hands and crossing her arms across her chest, "And that's the problem. Who does he have now?"
A tear rolled down her cheek for the Doctor. The first Doctor. The original Doctor. Her Doctor. The only Doctor.
