THE NOTEBOOK 1

The reason it hurts so much to separate 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 years and a prelude to what will come.

When I look at you, I see your beauty and grace and know that they have grown stronger with every life you have lived. And I know I have spent every life before this searching for you. Not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. And then, for a reason neither of us understands, we've been forced to say goodbye.

I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and I promise to do all i can to make sure it does. But if we never meet again, and this is truly goodbye, I know we will see each other in another life. We will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not love each other in that time, but for all the times we've had before.
