Gone.

Thief is gone again.

Always running around. Never in one place for too long.

I will wait. I always wait for him and he always comes back.

I wish you knew, thief, Doctor, how much I worry about you.

Sometimes you change your face and you act differently, but it's still you.

Like sometimes I change. I change for you.

What if someday you do not return?

What shall I do without my Time Lord?

I wish you would stay with me. No more planets or running around or picking up strays, just us,

Together.

It is impossible, I know.

If you did stop running, you would simply cease to be my Doctor.

And I suppose I would cease to love you the way I do.

I remember when we talked. When I was in that funny little person. Do you remember?

She did not fit me quite right, so it wasn't very nice, except …

I remember talking you to you, and you talking back, touching you, my love.

Some days I wish it could be like that again.

When you have been gone too long.

When you came back to me.

I would open my arms for you, welcome you home then just hold you for long as I could until you must leave me again.

Oh, welcome home, my love, my thief, my Doctor.

Welcome Home.
