#i think we always focus on how he didn't say it back#but not enough on how he just knew how much she loved him#because for him it wasn't about saying how much love they had for each other
#because it was always always there between them#from this doctor's first smile to his final years goodbye
#his love for her may not have been uttered with words#but it was always there#because he was her doctor and she was his best friend#and in another universe he says the words over and over again
#because she gets to say them back to him too#but in this universe ...running through these stars#he never said the words#because he knew one day she wouldn't say them bac
