The Doctor knows River's future, and there's something he needs to tell her.
They stood on a hill, looking down at a city of crystal spires that sparkled like all the stars in the night sky. Even the denizens were made of liquid crystal, glittering in the light of this planet's white sun.
River was looking down at it as avidly as he had the first time he'd seen it. Eyes wide, fascinated. He could practically see her brain cataloging everything, marveling, dissecting it with her archeologist's eye, absorbing the sheer wonder of it.
He loved that about her, how alive she was, burning with vitality.
How could he have ever doubted what he felt for her?
"River," he said softly.
She turned to him, gray-green eyes as clear as water, and as deep, shining.
He smiled and cupped her face in his hand. She cuddled her cheek in to his palm, eyes closing, and his hearts swelled and constricted at the same time, filled so full they ached.
He cleared his throat, "River..."
"Yes, sweetie?" She didn't open her eyes, but she smiled. She was such a flirt. He remembered how much that used to terrify him.
He slid his hand away and drew a fingertip down her nose. She blinked open her eyes and grinned at him.
"River," he started again, hesitantly, his chest heavy with old guilt. He'd hurt her, he would hurt her, and he never meant to. He never wanted to again. There was no way to prevent it, except... "Eventually you are going to start meeting younger and younger mes. And I just wanted to say, don't take what he says and does too personally. He doesn't know. He won't understand... And, I just..."
"Isn't this spoilers?" she commented.
"No. Not exactly. I..." he struggled with his thoughts, everything he felt.
"What are you trying to say, sweetie?"
"Don't take what he says to heart," he blurted out. He pressed his forehead to hers. "Just remember. I was young, I was a fool. And I loved you even then."

"Doctor."
The ghost spoke softly from the spacesuit's communicator as the timelord looked on. He stared at the empty shell now slumped in the silver chair, what had once been that brilliant, mysterious woman. She had known his name and she had saved his life. She had known his name and it was whispering now out of the data trapped in the suit's neural relay. All he could do was watch, handcuffed to one of the computer's metal supports, neither able to reach his sonic screwdriver nor the modified one that had belonged to Professor River Song.
Her voice continued to trickle into the room, though her lips did not move; eyelids closed in endles

Hello there. You don't know me, but I bet I can guess who you are. You're a brilliant, unique girl who intrigued the Doctor in some way, and after some wild adventure that involved a lot of running, he asked you to come with him in his magic blue box that's bigger on the inside. You didn't believe much that he told you at first, but you eventually gave in and opened your eyes to his wonderful world. And I can guarantee that you trusted him almost immediately after he grabbed your hand or gave you a cheeky smile.
Don't worry, love. You aren't the first to go down that road.
But I also know that you're still new to this life, and while you're

"G'night, Doctor." Rose said sheepishly as she rose from her place on the TARDIS pilot chair.
"'Night." He responded, still fiddling with the ship's controls. Being absorbed in his own thoughts and coordinating the TARDIS; he jumped a bit when Rose had come behind him and slinked her arms around his waist.
"AH! Oi, You tryin' to give me a heart attack? Well, hearts attack, hearts attacking?...Anyway." The Doctor trailed off. He turned in Rose's arms and pulled her into a loving embrace. He placed his head atop hers and rested his face against her sun-kissed blond hair and breathed her in. He always loved the way she sme

I do think that this is a wonderful way to express their relationship, however: The Doctor regretted how he had treated her in his 10th regeneration, although he did it unknowingly. I think it's a wonderful expression of the characters, and their relationship. Well done
