Hello again! First of all, I know it's been a while. Sorry! Classes have been hard to settle into, but hopefully there won't be a gap this big again. Also, for those of you who noticed I skipped Daleks In Manhattan, yes that was on purpose. I just really don't like those episodes. Sorry. Anyway, read on, and please review!
Rose,
I know it's been a while since I last wrote you. Sorry. There have been... Complications.
Recently, Martha and I went to a party thrown by Professor Lazarus. It was quite a festive occasion. I had to wear a tux. I was quite handsome, and I'm sure you would've agreed had you been there.
Anyways, the purpose of the party was to introduce a machine that could make you live forever, rejuvenating the human body year after year. Gallifrey, but the human race frustrates me so much sometimes! Why can't they see that such a long life can only be a curse? Watching the people you love wither away right before you- it's enough to make anyone go mad. I should know.
The length of your life doesn't matter, it's how you fill it that can turn an ordinary existence into something so, so special. So blazingly bright. Like you. My shining Rose.
Professor Lazarus experimented on himself, and he turned into a monster. And maybe that's what he was inside. He knew he was killing people, and yet he kept on putting himself first, fueled by his fear of death. Death is by far not the worst thing there is out there. I'd rather die thousands of times than lose you again. And I'd die a million times to see you again. Some things are worth all of the toil and pain in the universe.
I love you so much, Rose. Your name is written across my hearts and will be for eternity, should I live, die, regenerate...
You know, the first thing I thought when I regenerated into this body was, Do I still love Rose? And of course, the answer was yes. And I was so happy for that moment, because it didn't matter what I looked like, I still loved you. Always will. Always. Never forget that. Please. It would rip my hearts apart all over again if you ever forgot that.
