Lost...
An eerie old familiar theme
Replays itself inside my head -
A memory of a friend long gone,
Lost, abandoned, but never dead.

Over all my twenty years,
Seven times our paths would cross.
And every time he went away,
Half the world would mourn the loss.

Every time a box of blue
Caught the corner of my eye,
My long-lost friend walked through my mind -
We never got to say goodbye.

Something tells me he'll be back,
His story isn't at the end.
Someday the blue box will return -
And within it, the Doctor, my long-lost friend.
