All I want is what I had
I'd trade it all to get her back
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not
We all want what we ain't got

He missed her; he missed her terribly and desperately and his hearts ached in ways he had forgotten they could.

It was better this way, he knew it was…thought it was…hoped it was. She'd be happier this way, she'd be happier with him.

The not him, that was him. The duplicate, the one that could love her in ways he simply couldn't, the duplicate could give her the one thing he never could. He could give her forever.

A sound escaped from his lips, something between a hallow laugh and a whimper, because just mere years ago she had promised him that…she had promised him forever.

But forever was a lie, it was always a lie. They were humans and they moved on, she moved on, but he still misses her and it hurt.

Because he had lost her; he had lost her all over again.

He had lost her the moment she had kissed the other man, the moment he had whispered those three words in her ear…the three words he could never say, would never say.

And now he was alone, he'd stay this way, it was safer, better.

So he set course for a planet, distant and far away, somewhere where there was no one to make him love. Someplace where no one would love him, for it was over now.

There was nothing to be gained by dwelling on the past. Nothing to be gained from thinking of the things he couldn't have, of the people he couldn't love.

But as the TARDIS wheezed and groaned he thought of blonde hair and twinkling eyes. He thought of first dates to the end of the world and of the chips that followed.

He thought of her and he cried.


...and just like that we go from Bittersweet Doctor/Rose to really Angsty Doctor/Rose :P
