...hi i am swarupa"Love Story" We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd And say, "Hello," Little did I know... That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, "Please don't go" And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes." So I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while. Oh, oh. 'Cause you were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet." But you were everything to me, I was begging you, "Please don't go." And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes."

...I've never been lucky in love. i always predicted the end of every relationship I've been through , I expected every single word I've been told, every little fake emotion i thought real so far. All along this road, i was guided by an angel. the one who protected me from harm, wiped away my tears. The one who brought this joy and happiness to my life. He was a bright angel. a shiny diamond. Suddenly out of nowhere He became the main character of my most beautiful and painful relationship. He was the charming prince of my story, the beast in0 my nightmare. Still i couldn't keep grudge against him, because above all he was and still is my best friend. the one i loved just like a brother, the one i shared my secrets with just like a shadow. The beginning of the relationship was as sudden and blurry as its ending. I won't lie and say i was fine with it. it hurt deeply. But as i like to say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. and i think both of us are today. 6 months after "the crash" things started over. But this time it's much more different. we grew up, learned from our mistakes, and we do know unlike the first time the risks and damages it would cause to play with each other's feelings. how do i feel after all that?. Fine! i should say that it is Incredible how things can change! how a single person can turn your world around. how a single person can make you cry until you bleed or make you laugh until you cry. i haven't forgiven him yet, but i don't feel i have to. not now...

...Love Story Hi, my name is Mya and I am from a little town in Drums, PA. My mother and I moved to Pittsburgh, PA. to live a city life. I started a new high school called Central Catholic. I met a girl name Moriah, and we clicked right away. We were different from everybody else. Moriah was the only person who understands me. We joined this gothic group and became friends with Mike. The three of us were the best of friends. We did everything together and told each other everything. As we got closer, I started to develop a crush on Mike. I didn’t tell anybody because I didn’t want to mess up our friendship. Mike had a girlfriend, but I didn’t care. As we got closer, he started to notice that I had feelings for him. Mike and his girlfriend had taken a break. That was my moment to make my move. Mike and I were officially dating. Moriah, Mike, and I were still the best of friends and still did everything together until Mike and his ex-girlfriend’s break was over, and they got back together. Mike didn’t even tell me; I had to find out myself. I was hurt and I would do anything to get back with Mike. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I even made a love note for him to let him know how much that I loved him. “ The first time I met you, I thought we were just best friends’, until my feelings grew stronger. I never thought I would like you, but now I think of you everyday. When you make me smile I want to leave everything behind and stay with you. I fell in love, but...

...Love Story I used to think that I was just meant to be alone, that I never would find the right one. Sometimes I would stop to take a look at myself and think that maybe there was something wrong with me. Maybe I was so broken that no one could fix it. I usually take wise decisions in my life. But every time love came around everything changed. I put my heart on a silver plate and got the little pieces that were left from it thrown back at me. I was giving up on love and of all I ever thought love was. And then I met him. “It is scary”, I told him and shrugged. He laughed at me. “What do you mean?” “Well… what if we fall for each other and then it all goes to hell?” He looked at me and answered quickly: “Yeah, what if that happens? But what if it doesn’t.” I took a deep breath. This is how it is; you can take several steps back when someone else takes just a little tiny step forward. You can protest and say “Wow, back off! I didn’t come here to give my heart away and slowly dig down needle-sharp nails in it. That has been happening way too many times before”. You can do that. Or you can run up to him and start laughing while you’re kissing him. It is like choosing between always having a gray sky or having sunshine with risk of a few showers. Do you see how easy it was? “Jamie, you can’t go on like this. You have to start living again”. I knew Lydia was right, but my body didn’t seem to cooperate with my brain. My attempt to get off the couch looked...

...Consideration and Promissory Estoppel The Formation of a Contract 3 Consideration and Promissory Estoppel 1. CONSIDERATION In general, agreements or promises are contractually binding in English law only if supported by consideration. The requirement of consideration means that each party must receive or be promised something in return for giving or promising something. Consideration is, therefore, the legal description of the element of exchange and its practical effect is to ensure that gratuitous promises are not binding whereas bargains are. So if A promises B £1000, B cannot enforce that promise because B has provided no consideration (nothing in exchange) for it. It is traditional to define consideration as a benefit to the promisor or a detriment to the promisee. So in Currie v Misa (1875) LR 10 Ex 153, 162 Lush J stated, ‘A valuable consideration, in the sense of the law, may consist either in some right, interest, profit, or benefit accruing to the one party, or some forbearance, detriment, loss, or responsibility, given, suffered, or undertaken by the other.’ This definition can be misleading unless one emphasises, in line with the need for an exchange, that the detriment to the promisee must be requested by the promisor. So if A promises B £1000 and B, in reliance on receiving that money, buys a car, that may constitute detrimental reliance by B but B has not thereby provided any consideration for A’s promise. In contrast, if A promises B £1000 in return for B’s car (ie...

...everything bad, we been living the most pure and sincere love that in my opinion could ever exist. Every once in while we get asked questions about the past. I really don't mind answering because why deny it, if eventually the truth comes out. However, there's been many occasions where people "misinterpreted" my explanation and tell others and unwanted drama starts again. Whenever my parents hear false statements being said yeah, they give me the "the talk", "why the heck are you holding on? What are gaining out of it? Is this really worth it?" Yes it gets to me but when he tells me what he has heard, it tears me down miserably. Doubts and insecurities drain on me harshly. What if one day he can't take it anymore nonsense and decides it has no future? What if it's me? After so much why now? Although I don't say it to him personally, he gives me and our relationship more strength to keep moving on even though he's hurt by the comments. Despite all that, Ivan I just want you to know and the whole world how proud I am to be with such an amazing man. Thanks for being my light in the darkness, dealing with my mood swings, but most importantly for caring and protecting me from things that potentially can hurt me. I know my parents as well as others lack to see that on you but those who believe in us know your true intentions. Every tear, disappointment, laugher, happiness that we have lived I wouldn't trade it or even you! Amor, I love you so much! It will take infinite...

...A Story of Love and Courage Love is a very powerful emotion. It provides people with courage and causes them to act bravely. To have someone to love, and therefore someone to act bravely for, makes one capable of more than expected. Love leads to bravery and can get people through terrible times. In the movie Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni shows the quality of bravery through the experiences of the main characters as they attempt to survive a concentration camp during World War II. When Guido Orefice, an Italian Jew, arrives in Arezzo, he meets Dora, who comes from a wealthy Italian family. Even though she is engaged, she falls in love with Guido, and they marry and have a son, Giosue. At Giosue’s fifth birthday, Guido and Giosue are taken by Nazis to a concentration camp, and Dora insists on voluntarily going with them. At the camp, Guido convinces Giosue that everything is just a game, and he will earn points towards winning a tank. Unfortunately, when Guido goes looking for Dora, he is caught and shot to death by a Nazi soldier, but Giosue and Dora survive. Love is a powerful emotion which leads to acts of bravery, that people perform, even when they are scared. This is shown by Dora’s love for Guido and Giosue, by Guido’s love for Giosue, and by Guido’s love for Dora. Undoubtedly, Dora loves her husband and her son with all her heart; she shows courage when she runs away with Guido, and later again when she volunteers to join Guido and Giosue at the concentration...

...I relate to The Checkouts. I think I relate to this story because one of my closest friends experienced this and I heard it many times. She went to college and never came back. I haven’t heard from her since. This story made me remember her because she fell in love with him without even talking to him. Just like the girl in the story did. “Then one day the bag boy dropped her jar of mayonnaise and that is how she fell in love.” Although she never talked to him, she still liked him and she said she would always look for him every time she went to get gas for her car, but he was never there. She told me she crossed paths with him again at the ice arena when he was on another date. Of course, my friend was upset that he was with a new...

...The Love Story of the Ages We all love a good romance, guys included. They might not ever admit it, but it is a part of who we are as a functioning human beings. A desire to love and to be loved is deeply rooted in the core of our existence. It is the treasure we seek in all aspects of our lives; the one thing we know can complete us if we simply find the right kind. Yet, where did this inner desire for love come from? Are we even close to finding what true love really looks like? Who came up with love and why is it such a difficult thing to grasp and hold onto? Let me share with you the most beautiful love story ever to be heard. It is a story full of action, danger, hope, discouragement, victory, and so much more. It is a story in which every character has an important decision to make and role to play. No one is left out; no one is overlooked. Let us start as all good love stories begin. Once upon a time there was only one existence: God. He alone hovered over the waters in darkness, waiting for that perfect moment when He would create the first of the many He calls His beloved. Now, before this moment came, He busily created a place for His precious ones to live and abide, for His glory and His loved one’s enjoyment. When all was in place and the moment arrived, God created man. Man was made in the Father’s image; perfectly spotless and without any blemish, spot, or stain of any kind. God walked with His creation in perfect union; intimately close and completely satisfied...
