You were Fantastic, and so was I...

Large, floppy ears masking a stern face worn by the penance of being the last of his kind.
Cheekbones rough from the tears he has shed for lost Gallifrey, sassy remarks cannot hide his compressing guilt. 
A leather jacket, military-cut, and a sonic screw-driver: that's all he has to defend himself from the shadows of days long past. Two-hearted, twice broken-hearted; a man hard to find as he scatters his footprints restlessly over doubtful minds. 

Fantastic! Simply Fantastic!

But, there comes a time, Timelord, when every boy must learn how to dance, so take her hand and whisper "Run!" 
You'll know who she is, all folded in golden yellow and pink tinges, surrounded by manic plastic, ever so hungry, claws...
A blonde in a Union Jack and trust me, it's not just because you woke with a craving...
And when she asks why you have a northern accent, why say loads of planets have a north! 
Take her away from the atrocity of mundane life, teach her that one doesn't just allow 
things to happen, one stands and makes a difference!

  "Would you mind not farting while I try to save the planet?"

With her, there won't be only moments of planet memorization such as Raxacoricofallapatorious! 
She shall show great pity to your greatest enemy and sympathy towards the most horrendous of creatures.
Save the world a few fair time before befriending the cowardly Captain Jack Harkness 
who chooses to sacrifice himself for them more than a million times in his lifetime. 

Wish I'd never met you, Doctor, I was much better off as a coward.

As we know, nobody knows better than you that everyone dies.
 Until the day in an everyday London air-raid during WWII, 
you met a child empty for the nourishment of his mother, 
who he helplessly searched for among the exploding grenades, 
you found her and reunited them...

Exclaiming "Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once! Everybody lives!" joyfully. 
And you dance again, dear doctor, you twirl and twist her around the the floorboards of the 
Tardis that creak delightfully underneath the sugary supernovas, and lemon-drop stars...
And she needs a Doctor, a good Doctor to free her from the time vortex's grappling hook! 
And so the end comes for the Fantastic, fantastic man.

Rose, before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I.


A poem for the great ninth doctor!
