Oh, how he seems so close to human.
You forget he's not.
The Tardis in which he travels.
It's conspicuous enough.
The girl with which he travels.
She could wither away, she needs his trust; she's a withering rose hanging onto the seam of water that is:

The Doctor's trust.


She is Rose.

She knows he's close to human.
Many a time she forgets he's not.
The Tardis in which they travel.
It's home to her; sancturarial enough.
The alien with which she travels.
He could be lost in time, he needs her trust; he's a creature (more so) hanging onto the hope that is:

Rose's trust.
