Amy and Rory

“She’ll fall
in Love with a man who will wait two thousand years to keep her safe.”

Amy Pond
says that in a story that the Doctor should tell a little girl who would
wait a long time in a garden and needed a lot of hope. As great as fighting
pirates, saving a whale in outer space and giving hope to the greatest painter
who ever lived was her love for Rory and Rory’s love for her.

Amelia didn’t
fit in her community, she was different and misunderstood and grew up with
people, even her own family, treating her as mad. Nevertheless, a little boy
befriended her and fell in love with her. For years, Amy couldn’t consider the
idea that Rory, her favorite guy, could possibly be in love with her. Then,
they started dating and then he proposed, which scared her deeply. She
consciously and unconsciously sabotaged her relationship with him, fearing that
she would love Rory too much and that one day he would leave her, like so many
people did.

It was in
the times when she lost Rory that Amy understood it was too late. She already
loved him too much, too deeply, she couldn’t stand to be away from him. When
the universe erased Rory, she brought him back to existence with her love. Amy’s
heart remembered him before her mind could. And Rory loved her as much and as
deeply. A love so strong that, when he was the farthest away from his humanity, Rory was able to watch her sleep and protect her for 2000 years.

Amy’s love
for Rory was perhaps her greatest adventure and lesson. She learned to trust
and that it was okay to be vulnerable, that there was a person who would lover
her with all her flaws. Their relationship wasn’t perfect, they fell
apart, but found their way to each other’s hearts again. Their love was
stronger than all the paradoxes in the universe, and more wonderful than all its miracles.
