I saved the Doctor's life one day!
I held her in my arms!
Then she stood up and walked away,
Not knowing of her charms.
Of how her perfume filled the air,
Then suddenly was gone,
Yet leaving dreams beyond compare,
With her still walking on.

But then she stopped mid-step and turned,
To walk straight back to me,
While I stood waiting, feeling spurned,
Yet wondering what would be.
She asked if I was now in love!
I grinned and then said, yes!
If you love me, we share enough
To find some happiness!

She told me that she felt the same,
Yet fought it for a while,
Then she revealed her secret name!
We kissed and paused to smile.
The Tardis took my breath away,
Yet this would be our home,
For months ahead as every day,
The Cosmos we would roam.

The Tardis let us live and love,
A time-out, nothing more,
Forgotten were the legends of
The Doctor when at war.
But one day, sadness filled her eyes
As duty called her back
Beyond our love-filled paradise,
More Daleks to attack.

The Tardis whirred to life again,
With its door opened wide,
The Doctor ran out there and then!
She left me locked inside!
She had no time to say goodbye,
Farewells never stating,
And day by day, I stay and sigh,
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
