The Doctor on Rose (or Rose on the Doctor), or even maybe Ten II about Rose.

Saw this on exceptindreams today (great journal if you like poetry, by the way – that’s where most of the poems I put up (the ones that talk to me of Doctor/Rose in all its variants) come from), and wondered whether folk agreed with me that this pretty much describes what a Rose in love with Ten (or Nine, take your pick) might be thinking.

(In fact ... this might even be what Ten II was thinking about Rose, if you subscribe to that particular ship. For me, this works best as Rose on Ten, but that’s just IMHO.)

I Want to Breathe
James Laughlin

you in I’m not talking about
perfume or even the sweet odour

of your skin but of the
air itself I want to share

your air inhaling what you
exhale I'd like to be that

close two of us breathing
each other as one as that

DW official merchandise and Rose Tyler

Is there, does anybody know, a particular reason why the official DW merchandise would seemingly prefer on the whole not to acknowledge either the existence of Rose Tyler, or any effect her character might have had on the Doctor?
