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.
