The Final Run
Running, running, running. That's what everybody does. They run. They run until they reach the end, where they can run no more.
The Doctor ran. He took his granddaughter, stole a Type 40 TARDIS, and ran as far as he could. And he never looked back, not even once. Because he cannot look back... Ever. It would kill him. But running can kill him too. He had learned that. Sometimes you can't run away because what you run away from will eventually catch up to you.
He had watched friends, family, complete strangers, and civilizations die. He knows that nothing could prevent those events, and he curses himself for doing nothing. For not being able to do anything because it was fixed. Because the one time he interfered, he had forced a woman to take her own life. And now he is breathing his last and final breath. He was truly dying.
There was only thing he wanted right now, more than anything else in the universes. And it was to see just one person again. Just one, his beloved Rose Tyler. The one being that made him better and had stood by him in his best and worst times. She had done what needed to be done to save him on Satellite 5 regardless of what happened to her. She had looked into the heart of the TARDIS and emerged as the Bad Wolf to save him. In the battle of Canary Wharf, she had chosen him over her mother. However, the lever of the gate faltered and Rose was forced to leave the safety of the magnetic clamp and readjust the lever. But she couldn't hold on and was almost drawn into the breach; however, Pete Tyler managed to jump over and save her just in time. Rose Tyler was the only one the Doctor ever said goodbye to the first time around. He had burned up a sun to say good bye. That was the first time she told him that she loves him, but before he could return the sentiment, their time was up. But that didn't stop Rose, as he learned later. She had jump dimensions for him. And he repaid her by leaving her with him, yet not him, in Pete's World in the end. It was the right decision, but that didn't mean he didn’t regret it. And in each of his regenerations afterwards, he had always gone back in time to see her from a distance.
With each regeneration, a new personality and companions came, but the one thing that was constant was his love for Rose Tyler. Sure, he had found love with Melody Pond/River Song, but it wasn't the same feeling that he felt with Rose. He had loved River Song and truly enjoyed their time together, but Rive wasn’t his beloved jeopardy friendly Rose. It was the Doctor's final wish, to see Rose again, even if she didn't know him. But he'll never get his wish because the universe is cruel.
He is dying, and for once, he wished he wasn't. He is leaving the one thing that brought him joy these last few centuries. He is leaving his daughter to fend for herself once again. The Doctor loved Jenny, even if he never said it often. He didn't want to leave her. There was so much more that he wanted to teach her. But at least he knew that Jack would look after her. The universe was so cruel to this lonely old man.
The Doctor was dying. He didn't want to die but it was his time. Because he was dying, he could see it, his own time ending. All things must come to an end. And this was his. But somehow, he was still running. He was running towards the light. Running, wanting, hoping to see her face one more time. He can see it as clear as day. There is only one person in the entire universes that made him feel whole. But this is the one run he cannot make. However, even if he couldn't see her again, he at least knew that she was happy with him, yet not him. And he was content that thought.
So he entered his final run, and he ran with all his might, towards the shining light at the end of the tunnel. And the Doctor hoped that all that he had done was enough.
