Rating: G
Author Note: Ten/Rose, through a Martha prism.
Summary: Even she can see he's incomplete without her.

I did my best to try to make you see
There's little point in living in the past.
But I'm not sure I reached you. There's a need
Inside of you that drives you; you're the last
Of all the Time Lords. If there comes a day
That you manage to find yourself back there,
Back where Rose is, for God's sake find a way
To bring her back with you, because I care
Enough for you to see you're incomplete
Without her. Would that you could feel for me
A fraction of the feeling that's replete
In you for Rose. But that won't ever be.
You look at me, and I'm not who you see;
For you are reliving a memory.
