A quick angsty sonfic I wrote to Our Farewell by Within Temptation.


Our Farewell

In my hands

She held the key to the place she once called home.

A legacy of memories

She kept them locked up in her head, just for her to see.

I can hear you say my name

His voice, calm even in the face of danger.

I can almost see your smile

And his face, that burst into laughter, always happy.

Feel the warmth of your embrace

When he hugged her, she felt whole.

But there is nothing but silence now

She remembered hearing him call her name.

Around the one I loved

She loved him from the moment he grabbed her hand.

Is this our farewell?

Goodbye, my Doctor.

Sweet darling you worry too much, my child

He always worried over her safety.

See the sadness in your eyes

She could see the horrors of the Time War reflected behind his eyes.

You are not alone in life

He had her.

Although you might think that you are

He thought his people were gone, that no one was left. Until her.

Never thought, This day would come so soon

He knew she would have to go eventually. A long time away.

We had no time to say goodbye

Two minutes. Two years of her life, and two minutes to say goodbye.

How can the world just carry on?

How can he go on alone?

I feel so lost when you are not by my side

He was so used to her always being there.

But there's nothing but silence now

He missed her voice, her inquisitive questions.

Around the one I loved

He never had chance to say it.

Is this our farewell?

Goodbye, my Rose.

So sorry your world is tumbling down

They fell apart.

I'll watch you through these nights

Sleepless nights, thinking of each other.

Rest your head and go to sleep

They couldn't.

Because my child, this not our farewell.

Her Doctor. His Rose.

This is not our farewell.

They will meet again.
