This One Love of Ours

There was always someone else, always on the periphery of his awareness. He would catch glimpses of them if he was lucky: a black-haired man dressed in wizard robes, a slender woman with emeralds for eyes, a king with a golden crown on his head, or a servant handing one over. But more often than not, he only knew that his soulmate was nearby. (soulmates, implied reincarnation).
