Good bye, Raggedy Man.
May you live forever in the stars, shining bright, watching you Pond and your River.
May you rage ever on the seas, screaming and crying and laughing.
The hopeless wanderer.
The oncoming storm,
the whispered name.
An old man,
The last of the Time Lords.
Who could never, ever watch children cry, standing back,
And doing nothing.
A tortured soul,
Never going in guns blazing.
No.
You, my dear friend,
Always and forever asked first.
You were a little childish sometimes,
Because the truth was too hard, too horrible,
to ever bear alone.
Yet you did.
You bore it all alone.
Except you just can't anymore.
Your family, and friends, were all high in the sky,
Ready to lay down arms for you, to you, in your name.
Ready to die for you,
As long as they died fighting for you.
A little girl from a fairy tale,
That grew into The Girl Who Waited.
Then The Girl Who Was Tired of Waiting.
Her husband a legend from mythology.
Their child,
Your wife,
A protective River.
An impossible girl,
Only doing the impossible for you.
And let's not forget our beautiful Rose,
Our Bad Wolf.
She couldn't be forgotten in your last life,
Least of all this one.
They all said their own tearful good byes.
Maybe it's our time, too.
It is our time, too.
It has to be, doesn't it?
I'm sorry.
So.
Good bye, Raggedy Man.
We will remember your amazing adventures,
Your sad, hopeful lessons.
Your everlasting love.
Your loyal family.
Watch us from the stars, Doctor.
Please.
Because when a new man takes your place,
The most of you will be long gone.
Forever only in our hearts,
And of those you touched.
Buried.
The pain is too much.
So, laugh now.
Breathe deep.
Love your family.
Kiss your Rose.
And sing along.
While you can.
It is still your song, My Doctor.
You've got one more to play.
I suppose we'll say it now,
We have to,
Don't we?
Do we?
Must we?
Will it even help that we have done it before?
I'm so sorry.
To our Golden Rose,
Our Impossible Girl,
The Roman,
And his wife.
Your friends.
Your family.
Your loves.
You broke them all, Doctor.
But they don't care.
That's the price of you.
I have to say it now.
I must.
They did.
Only because it will be easier now, than later,
Good bye.
Good bye, Raggedy Man.
I know the five words you will say,
The five words you've said.
"I don't want to go."
'I'm so, so sorry.'
Please R & R! :)
