alonesomes:

Yes! They’re not all explicitly about soulmates, but they have that vibe, you know? Here’s a list of my top 5:

1.). “I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.” —Emery Allen ( @wethinkwedream)

2.) “And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”—Kiersten White

3.) “But see, you came back to me. You always come back. In between and beyond the others. That’s my magic. You come back to me.” —Sandra Cisneros

4.) “I am no stranger to love and I am not waiting for you, because I believe we will be reborn, because I believe everything, and I believe that we will meet again and suffer together again.”—Richard Siken

5.) “He asked me when I planned to come back. Always, I said.” —Roberto Bolaño

“She sang with those inside the castle walls and those without, sang with all the city. She sang for mercy, for the living and the dead alike, for Bran and Rickon and Robb, for her sister Arya and her bastard brother Jon Snow, away off on the Wall. She sang for her mother and her father, for her grandfather Lord Hoster and her uncle Edmure Tully, for her friend Jeyne Poole, for old drunken King Robert, for Septa Mordane and Ser Dontos and Jory Cassel and Maester Luwin, for all the brave knights and soldiers who would die today, and for the children and the wives who would mourn them, and finally, toward the end, she even sang for Tyrion the Imp and for the Hound. He is no true knight but he saved me all the same, she told the Mother. Save him if you can, and gentle the rage inside him.”
