It would be like losing me, like losing my own soul, Rob…

“It would be like losing me, like losing my own soul, Rob said, but it was't really like him saying it to her, it was as if he were simply realizing these things himself. And now it's like finding my soul again. The other half of me.” quote by L.J. Smith
