Nothing seems to last forever. But just because almost nothing does, does that mean there isn't such a thing? What if forever does exist, but the only reason we refuse to believe in it is because barely anything lasts that long?
They say love never dies. When someone we love leaves us, may it be for a few seconds or for a few years, does that love leave us as well? Or does it stay with us as a constant reminder that someone out there still cares?
Mark is about to find out.
His world turns upside down when he is separated from Amy, his college lover. He refuses to let go, he refuses to forget. That's what love does to people isn't it? It makes things harder to let go-but in the end we find out that it's worth it. That the best things in life aren't store bought, and that home isn't always a place.
Love is a shadow, a constant reminder. May it be a good one, or an annoyance, it depends on how we treat it.

Just us
"Love in a way which, if penned down and read after a century, would make you smile for being in love then." Some times in life we meet someone, we know would entirely change our lives. That one person, not only changes but somehow becomes your life. Just the thought of that person leaving you for even a few hours can give a tinsy winsy heart attack. Just us, can be seen as an attempt, of capturing those pictures, which were never taken, a silly thought, of saving everything, forever, in hearts and souls. It is a tale of two people, a boy and girl. Both coming from different worlds. One looking for love and the other one saddened and confused by it. It is the story of how he made her fall in love with her, of how they both dreamt their lives to be, and most of all, it is a story of how pure and innocent their love can be. Even when they know what the end is going to be like, Just us is a story of a he and a she, trying to make every second they have together count.Complete![Unexpected Love [GXG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/346562087-256-k387363.jpg)
Unexpected Love [GXG]
An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-and nothing will ever be the same. When Enid Jones-straight-A student and the perfect Islamic daughter-earns a scholarship to the prestigious Montrose Academy, she believes her life is finally falling into place.

But trouble has other plans for Enid... and its name is Olivia Grayson. Carefree, rebellious, and notorious for breaking hearts, Olivia is Montrose Academy's golden girl. With her comes the infamous Golden Four, and a whirlwind of chaos Enid wants no part of. At least, that's what she tells herself. Because Olivia isn't just interested in Enid-she's made it her mission to strip away the saintly image everyone sees and uncover the fire hidden beneath. But what if it's Olivia's carefully crafted "bad girl" façade that begins to crumble first... all because of a certain brunette who was never supposed to matter? ๑ "After what you and your stupid friends did to me, isn't it enough? Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips. My pulse went wild, betraying me. "I'm only just getting started, angel," she whispered in that husky voice of hers. "And I'll stop... the moment I hear you moan my name." ๑ An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?
SACRED ECHO
Have you ever wondered what love really is? Is it the kind of love we see in stories, or is it something deeper, something that pulls you in without warning? Can love truly heal, or is it simply another word we throw around when we don't know what else to say? What if love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about staying, even when the world falls apart? In the end, what makes two souls truly belong to each other? Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?Complete![Shadow Love (World Collisions) [#1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/253879462-256-k382440.jpg)
Shadow Love (World Collisions) [#1]
No matter how many parts there are you just subtract two and you get the real number of how many parts there are. * A small collection of short stories that seem to be nothing, but hold a deeper meaning than just that. * "Everything leads into everything. But, that doesn't mean because everything leads into everything that those people who are connected to that everything means they know each other and it doesn't mean that they will by the end of it. So, what's the point of everything leading into everything? That there is shadow love. Shadow love is something that can be described as love in a romantic way, a platonic way, a familiar and family way. There is an endless meaning of it, it's not just one box that fits under one label. It's everything and it's all around us. No one will understand. But, that's ok. I don't mind being misunderstood." ~C.T. It was note that a hooded figure always kept around because they felt as if the world around them was always crumbling even though they were the one to blame for that. A tale of a hooded figure and a shadow creature. * #18 morallesson out of 473 #13 paths out of 430 #48 truthbetold out of 1,000+ #2 hoodedfigure out of 27 #87 watcher 660Complete
