they told me you weren’t real anymore
or at least at the time that’s what i thought they meant
but i thought you’d always be real
so long as i remembered you
i used to search every town i went to
just to see if you were there
back then i didn’t understand what ‘gone’ really meant
i thought you’d come back and find me
cus we never did finish our game of hide and seek
i’m still looking for you around every corner
in every strangers face i see
and i really did believe you’d come back
but i used to believe a lot of things
( i hate how i’ve grown up since you’ve gone)
people told me you were everywhere
but i can tell them you wouldn’t have wanted that
(for example, you never did like the beach)
i like the idea that you’re a star in the sky
cus there’s this one that i swear winks at me when i stare too long
and i think that’s what you’d do
if you got to chance
recently i’ve started to fall asleep to old videos of us
somehow it seems easier to drift off thinking you’re still here
and nowdays every dandelion wish i have is wasted on you
but there’s nothing i’d rather waste them on
i know they cant bring you back
but i'd do anything to hear your laugh
just once more
to have you show me what happiness feels like again
to promise me you didn’t forget me
and somehow promise me that i wont forget you
(because i don’t want to try and fill the space you’d leave)
i got told that empty spaces leave more room to grow
i wanted to reply that you’d left no space
because you hadn’t gone
but they’d have thought i’d been too young to understand
and wouldn’t have realised that what i meant was
you’ve wormed your way into every letter i type - every word i write
so now you’ll never be forgotten
(not by me)
every time i see a blue mr freeze
i’ll remember you getting your tounge stuck
and how we had to hide from your mum
just cus we’d promised we’d only eat the one
(when by this point we were on number 8)
and we might only have been young
but i can tell you this -
you would have been a heartbreaker if you’d had the chance
(and i guess in someway you were)

I cried with the last of the Time Lords. I cried with the Heart of the TARDIS. I cried with them, and Time was in my tears.
