[The man known as Jack Harkness lets his emotions go as his head lays in Rose Tyler's lap. Tears stream down his face as he weeps silently for Ianto, Gwen, Tosh, Owen, Grey, Alice, Steven and Estelle. He cries remembering Esther, who died too damm young and unfairly. He doesn't make a sound just lets the tears fall washing his weary soul clean of the pain and grief he's kept hidden for years

He weeps for the lovers he hurt by not being able to love them enough, he cries double for Ianto there. He mourns for the family he lost, for the wife whose name he still keeps so close to his heart that he's sure only he remembers it. He even cries for a lost child he never got the chance to name, because Jack was too young to understand what his body was telling him.

The tears are also for Jack himself. For the boy he never got to be. For his failures and his successes. For every painful death he's silently suffered because his immortality is both a gift and a curse. And finally he cries for Rose and their first Doctor, for their short time together and for the quiet anger Jack carried within himself for over a century when he thought he wasn't good enough or strong enough to make them stay with him.

The tears finally run out and he lifts his head to look at Rose completely worn out and he says the one thing he's always wanted to say to her. The thing he never thought he'd ever say.]

I love you Rose Tyler....I love you and the Doctor more than I've loved anyone in my life. Both of you ruined me for anyone else and I'm more grateful then you will ever know.
