Until the End of Time

Prologue

In this world everyone has a tattoo on their wrist. It's usually only four or five words long, but you're born with it. Your tattoo is what your soulmate will say to you... when you lose them. From birth, we all know our soulmate's final words to us. Most people hide their words, as a personal secret, and to avoid pranks. Lots of people think that soulmates are who we are meant to spend our lives with, a significant other, but I've always thought a soulmate can be anyone you ever interact with. Anyone who's soul's very presence leaves an indelible mark on your own. I don't even think it has to be positive. I just think it's anyone who's soul alters your life so much that it creates a memory that sticks to your very core.
We always hear the horror stories of people who go their whole life with someone, only to lose them without the words. There's the other stories of teen love and people walk away muttering the words nobody ever wants to hear that young. Other people have basic and generic words and meet their "soulmate" multiple times. Other people open up about what they have written, and when the other person leaves, they get tormented, only to find out later that they didn't already lose them.
Like I said, I don't think our soulmate has to be our "significant other," it just has to be a person, any person in the world you've ever interacted with. A guy. Your best friend. Your boss. Your sister. Heck! I don't know! It could be your mom! We know so little about soulmates. Only that everyone has one.
