*sighs eternally*

I’ll break the knife as soon as I’m through, because I know I’ll just wanna come back to you.

"We can come back here every year. You in your world and me in mine. Midsummer's Day. Midday." "And I'll be there. I'll be there every year. My whole life." "And if we do meet someone we like, we must be kind to them. We won't compare them. When we come here, just for an hour, we can be together." "Every year. I promise."

“And I thought, will anyone be better off if I just go back to the hotel and say my prayers and promise never to fall into temptation again? And the answer came back. No. No one will. And I realised there was no one there to reward me for being a good girl or no one there to punish me for being wicked. There was no one. And it was… it was liberating. And it was… It was a bit lonely. But I just knew I wanted to experience everything the world had to offer. I wanted to experience love.” MARY MALONE in HIS DARK MATERIALS 3.08 

There she was, as powerful in her way as Lord Asriel was in his.

“I’ll be drifting about until I find you.”

“And I’ll be searching for you, every moment, every single moment.”

[Caption: gifs from His Dark Materials. Lyra and Will sit face to face, teary-eyed, as Lyra delivers a heartfelt love declaration. She tells him: “When we do find each other again [after death], no one will be able to tear us apart. We’ll be joined so tightly. Every atom of me, and every atom of you. When they use our atoms to make new lives, they’ll have to take two. One for you and one for me. We’ll be in the flowers and in the sunbeams. We’ll be joined so tight.” While she speaks she puts her hand on Will’s neck when he averts his eyes for a moment, caressing it and making eye contact with him. She brings her other hand to his face, pulling him close until their foreheads touch, barely containing her sobs. After she finishes they hug, holding tight onto each other, crying into each other’s shoulder.]
