Every now and then I will link this post and announce who is accepting memes at the time. You can send in a lyric starter as is ( just the starter statement ) or add a modifier to set the starter into a specific universe or storyline.
Please note the modifiers are not stand alone memes! They are scenarios for the sentences.
NOTE: These are designed as starter sentences specifically tailored to the soulmate universes I have designed on my blog. I do not want this reblogged without permission.

“That mirror trick was both brilliant and cruel – I looked for you everywhere after that!”
“Thank you – for all the times you sent me reassurance when I needed it most.”
“Why do you try so hard to feel so little when you feel so much?”
“The worst part was knowing how scared you were, and not being able to do a goddamn thing.”
