"The Tracks of my Tears."
“There is a time to live, and a time to sleep. You are an echo, River. Like Clara, like all of us. In the end, my fault, I know. But you should have faded by now.”
There were some beautiful lines in this episode. This one reminds me of what Sarah Jane said about everything having a time and what River Song said in her closing monologue in Series 4.
❝ On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered. ❞

[Promises Unkept] … yet
“One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.”
my favourite goodbye, help i’m drowning in bittersweet nostalgia.
We don’t walk away, but when we’re holding onto something precious we run, and we don’t stop running until we’re out of the shadows …
❝ Do you mind if I tell you a story? One you might not have heard. All the elements in your body were forged many many millions of years ago in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so so many millions of years, these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. These elements came together and burst apart, forming shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings! Until, eventually, they came together to make you. You are unique in the universe. ❞
