And he knows.
It's time.
The song must end.
And there's no turning back.
He doesn't want to go.
But he doesn't have a second chance.
Not this time.
And he remembers while he waits.
He remembers her.
Her smile.
Her tender and love to him.
The way she always looked at him, and how it made his hearts beat faster.
The way he always felt when they hold hands.
And amongst all that...
He remembered those great times.
When he thought, he believed... he could be with her.
Perhaps, the Universe would give him a chance.
A ridiculous moment.
A miracle.
And he wanted to believe that nothing would separate them.
But he knew. He always knew that it could never happen.
Because he was a Time Lord.
And she was a human.
So he tried not to think about that.
But then, he realized that they could never have a happy ever after.
The Universe talked again, and she was taken away from him. Forever.
Or at least it looked like.
She was so clever, and she found the way to find her way back to him.
That was she. Brilliant and clever.
And so beautiful.
He thought he could use this second chance the Universe was giving to them.
To be happy.
But there was two of them.
And she could never be with him forever.
He knew. He always knew.
So he left his friends. One by one.
And he let her at the end.
But he didn't let her alone.
He let her with his other he.
The same guy, with the same memories and feelings and thoughts.
Only one heart.
He would age with her.
Together.
As it should be.
And she complained first. Of course she did. That was so she.
But his other he told her the words that he could never have the strenght to tell her.
Because he was so scared.
Because if he told that simple and complicated three words to her. Everything would change.
And he could lose her.
He didn't want to lose her. Never.
So he never took the risk.
And there he was.
Waiting for the inevitable to come.
To regenerate.
To never return.
And when it started. He remembered.
Her smile, her love and her name.
His Rose.
