A/N: I was updating my status with this phrase and it just inspired me instantly. Enjoy.

Summary: A tribute to the 10thDoctor's Companions.
Rose…
"How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
She was fun, beautiful, and fearless, even in the face of my greatest enemies. She always knew just what to say or do to make me smile, even after years of sadness. Her spunky attitude could make any situation a winning situation. She loved me even when I was rude…and not ginger. She trusted me, even when I didn't deserve that trust…
Martha…
"I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
She was brilliant, a doctor in fact. I laugh now at the irony: The Doctor and Doctor Jones. It had all started with a simple trip to the hospital. Even when we were on the moon, she stayed calm cool, collected. When surrounded by Judoon, she was more worried about her patients and I, rather than her own well-being. She loved me, and I hurt her…
Donna…
"And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
Donna Noble. She was my best friend, putting herself in danger just to help people like I did. I remember meeting her the day of her wedding. Her temper and complete control of her emotions in the TARDIS were impressive. Countless times, she showed me my humanity, helping me to help others. She had absorbed regeneration energy in an attempt to save us. And I lost her because of it…
Some people torment themselves with drinks, some with drugs...my torture comes in the form of my music, slow, quiet haunting...
The music of lovers, friends, and companions lost…
The music of my life, their lives, and all others in between…
Of a TimeLord's burden…
