To See The Universe

'Rage, rage against the dying light

Do not go gentle into that goodnight.' Tenth Doctor and Clara Oswald, quoting Dylan Thomas.

Time frozen but not forever

Memories I will always treasure

Since the day I met you

I was captivated completely

Enthralled in your charm

Your hair flopping forward to your forehead

When your smile would enrapture me

You believed I could do anything

Impossibly perfect you would say

Tears flowing down your cheeks when I was in danger

Never stopped you from the fire

Never saved yourself in the water

You only needed to keep me alive

And I sensed that love

Though you always denied

And time would expand in front of your eyes

Yet you'd still turn to me, like I was your greatest prize

You were willing to give up your TARDIS for me

I shouldn't be worthy

But you would go anywhere to find me

And I you, irrevocably deep

Love residing over us with words unsaid

But feelings felt

Your hugs enveloped me

It happened every day

I felt no safer in your arms than the exposure of the universe

But your hugs comforted me, held me tight, 'Clara! My Clara!' Shouted aloud

Bow ties and fezzes, how I adore

The way you touch my face and kiss my forehead in joy

When you told me I was beautiful and then kissed my hand

Memories everlasting

Days of survival, days of hope, days of disaster, days of fear

All I need is you to be near

And I loved you just the way you were

But you turned like the pages of a book,

Like the leaves falling to the ground,

The transition of summer to winter

But you were still the same man

I was heartbroken, you were gone, I didn't see you until I could

You had changed

Yet I warmed to you

As everyone did

And your sunshine burst through again

The scowl and the eyebrows, the irresistible silver hair,

Everything you remembered, from previous times we had shared

We lied to each other, you always made jokes

Your dark humour amused me, unless it was false hope

I left, you left, we were completely at odds

But we kept our feelings secret, where before you displayed them affectionately

Although in time it turned completely

Your scowls turned into hugs, you played 'Pretty Woman' on the guitar

Said you needed me, wanted me back with you and how could I refuse?

I kissed your cheek and we ran holding hands until the reminisces were flowing back

Those hugs were now returned, you spun me into the air, I clung to you from behind and you caught me unawares

When do I not see you? You say you love me in different ways

You don't care if I betray you

You told me that with your eyes shining

You were willing to destroy every Dalek victory you had won

To save my still unworthy soul

I still love you beyond compare

I don't care

Because whether you're young or old, brown haired or silver, all I want is an adventure

To see the universe, side by side with you.
