Mistake??
  Keep the mobile on silent mode. Hold it while I can. Stare at it time and time again when I don’t. Jump when it starts to vibrate. My body goes clinical cold. Feel the world around me blur.

Excerpt from 'The Notebook'
The reason it hurts so much to seperate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...  more...
