Like fire and ice. I feel every heartbeat that pulses through that galaxy in your veins, the super novas and red dwarfs and asteroid fields and diamond planets that crisscross the expanse of stars that have formed your person. Ground shattering revelations make me quake in delight, lighting up the night sky in my eyes. The shade of blue that flashes through my memory, and all those times you didn't say what I wanted you to say but I told myself that you said it through your body, every time you took my hand.

And there we stood, a lifetime stretching between us, but a brush of fingertips away on a lonesome splash of crumbled sand, the waves rolling in like a sigh from the beginning of time. I felt my heart aching and burning up like the sun, my whole being longing to fly to you, but you were just energy - a moment in between two worlds that let me tell you I love you. I never wanted you to be alone. I wanted to live out my short life beside your everlasting self, consumed by nothing but my one desire to be your companion for as long as I lived. I never told you, throughout the dangers and perils, the tears and the travel, the laughter and the memories. I had wanted so badly to hear you, the man who traveled far and wide, the god who lived through time itself, the only person to have seen what I had saw every time I stepped outside those doors with your hand in mine - I wanted to hear you say that I was too right to love you, that I'd be daft if I didn't, and most of all I wanted to hear you tell me you loved me back. All those lifetimes, all those people, all those adventures - and you loved me.

And now here I am, light years away, and your name on my lips. And I still love you, 'til time takes me back for itself.
A bit of a Doctor Who piece.
I love this show way too much.

For a work inspired by Doctor Who, this was jaw droppingly amazing. What an exquisite piece of writing. I can still remember the first time I saw that scene on the beach. Very moving and you managed to capture that so well here.
