Summary:
She just couldn't
-
He watched as she walked out of the TARDIS.
He was alone... again.
"I just can't." she had said.
They never can, can they?
One day, it all gets too much, they have other people to look after, they are overwhelmed, they want their life to be normal.
They always want things the Doctor can't give them.
That's just how it is when you're a timelord. You just keep on living whilst everyone and everything around you crumbles.
A timelord lives too long, he thinks, nothing should be immortal.
He's not sad this time. That's not the right word. More... lonely.
He's alone again.
And the loneliness it what makes him cry.
Nothing much, just a few silent tears tracking down his face.
They stop soon enough.
He's happy for Martha.
He's alright.
He's always alright.
