A/N: I have to love my friends who convince me in a single afternoon that writing fanfiction is something I need to take up again.

Everyone knew that living meant dying in the end. He knew only too well what dying felt like. Dying didn't scare him anymore, loss is what scared him. Losing a piece of himself was familiar, after all, he had worn almost a dozen faces in his life. Losing a piece of his heart was something else.

He had lost his heart to a girl at the end of the world. She followed him no matter how crazy he seemed. She looked into time in order to save his life, risking herself in the process. She loved him even when he changed, leaving a little bit of himself behind.

If she could have held on… If she could have waited just a few more seconds… He brushed the thoughts from his mind and focused on the important. He had to see her one more time, just so he could tell her to secret that he hoped she already knew.

He didn't believe in anything beyond time or space, but at times like this he wished he could.

The Tardis showed him the way. She taught him how to speak to the woman who had once looked deeper into time than any besides the Time Lords had ever dared.

His hearts pounded as he adjusted the power and prepared to enter her dreams.
