简短英文爱情故事：永恒意味着放手 篇1
It was two years ago when I first met him. At that time, he was a roamer who had、 just come to this city, single and had no thought of settling down. I still remember that he used to describe himself as a lost child drifting in the world, seeking things to till his heart, he could never stop, for he would lose his way, then die in silence.
It was like a crystal, though, our relationship, beautiful. pure but fragile. Sometimes we just like old friends. talking and laughing. But I knew that, there is always a separate yvorld in which only he exists, and he never let other people in.
"True relationship takes work," I told myself time and time again. I could wait, wait for the day he let me in, and wait for the day we became true friends. For a while, I believed that, until his leaving.
It was hidden and with an awful finality`'。Till then did I know that, I was a little part of his time on earth, a little understanding of his physical being. I was a little piece of him. Maybe to his drought-like heart, our relationship was just a drizzle, useless and disappointing.
Time slid away from fingers while I was trying to get on with my lifc. I locked our memories in a box and put it at the bottom of my heart, pretending nobody had turned up in my life,nothing had happened.
His appearing again split my peace again. Vivid memories came flooding back from the box deep in my heart. For a while, I was vaguely conscious, it was just like there hadn't being any distance, any separation between us, and his one-year left was just an alter of eyes.
When he told me that he had found the harbor for his wondering heart, I felt like drowning in a lake, cold and breathless. He kept talking but I could not hear a word. Perhaps nobody could be immune to `' such felony.
That night, he and his true love haunted my dream. They were flying far across the fields and woods,， leaving me far behind. I ran and ran, but could not catch up. I was the one left behind.
At that time, I realized, even perfect love couldn't promise you forever, sometimes, forever means to let him go.

QQ上的一个朋友今给我发过来一篇小短文，看后有所感触。爱情有时真的很无奈，当你错过了，也许就不会再回到你身边。机遇来临时，如果我们没能把握住，稍纵即逝。所以我要告诫正在热恋的男女，爱上一个人，就大胆的说出来，拿出你的真心，不要犹豫和彷徨，结果如何并不重要，不然你会遗憾终生的。
一个男孩从十八岁就爱上了一个女孩。他们是一届，但不是一个班，男孩想，等上了大学他就会表白，因为男孩喜欢女孩笑面如花，喜欢她清纯的声音和细细的丹凤眼，他觉得这个女孩就应该是他的，他想，再等等吧。
他们同时考上了大学。为了自己心爱的女孩，他也选择了同样的大学，而本来他可以上更好的学校。上大学后女孩开始了缤纷的大学生活，每天这个社团那个社团的，男孩看到女孩过得这么快乐就想，再等等吧。于是他仍旧没说。
大二的情人节，他终于鼓足勇气去表白，却发现女孩的窗前已有了一枝红玫瑰，他甚至都没有把藏在夹克中的红玫瑰掏出来。女孩问，有事吗？他结结巴巴地说，没，没有，我只是想找你开老乡会。女孩失望地看着他，然后给那枝红玫瑰浇了水，说是同班的班长送的。
毕业后女孩结婚了，男孩却一直都没有谈恋爱，他只是一路追随着女孩回到了他们的小城，本来他是有机会留在大都市的，可为了自己爱的女孩他认了。
他对任何人都没有说过自己的心愿，别人为他介绍对象，他总是笑着拒绝，人们都以为他条件太高了太挑剔了，所以渐渐地很少有人再管他的事，他也总是一个人听听音乐看看书，不知道还要把这份感情守多久。有一次同学聚会大家都喝多了，有人开他们俩玩笑，说他近水楼台怎么没得着月，他笑着，什么也没有说，倒是女孩喝多了酒，看着他的眼说：人家看不上我。他愣在那里，想起没有拿出来的那枝红玫瑰，此时已变成了他心底的朱砂痣一般，让他心疼。他本来想告诉她他的爱，可是他想，太晚了，真的太晚了，他不知道女孩的婚姻已发生了变故，她正在办离婚。 等到女孩离完了婚，他想终于可以说了，因为女孩也爱他啊，他不明白他们怎么就错过了呢，本来上天给过他机会，给过他们一段好姻缘，可是为什么偏偏到这里才给他一个结局？
然而不幸的是这还不是结局，在他正要表白的时候他就被查出患了癌症，他不忍心让女孩为他分担痛苦，所以，他仍旧没有说。他想，让他带着这个秘密直到生命的尽头吧。
女孩来看他，表白了可以照顾他，他笑着说，我看不上你，我要看上你早就表白了，何苦等到现在？女孩的自尊心受了伤害，从此再不来看他。有时候，他会一个人在病床前发呆，看着窗外的树叶渐渐地飘落，他想，他的爱情也像这秋天的树叶，正在一片片地落下来，最后埋藏在地下，成为一颗玲珑心，只是，谁也不知道他曾怎样的爱过啊！
简短英文爱情故事：你愿意和我约会吗 篇3
Every day I anxiously wait for you to gel to class. I and say good morning. Some days, when you arrive only can't wait for us to smile at each other incredibly and listen impatient. Instead of reading the Daily Calendar, seconds before the lecture begins, I'm I anticipate your footsteps from behind for your voice. Today is one of your late days. But I don't mind, because after a month of desperately desiring to ask you out, today I am going to一Encourage me, because letting you know like you seems as risky to me as skydiving into the sea.
I know that dating has changed dramatically in the past few years, and for many women asking men out isn't at all daring. But 1 was raised in a traditional European household’where simply the thought of my asking you out spells-naughty. Growing up, I learned that men call, ask and pay for the date. During my 3 years at Berkeley, I have learned othvise. Many Berkeley women have brightened their social lives by taking the initiative、with men. My girlfriends insist it's essential for women to participate snore in the dating process. "I can't sit around and wait any more，"my former roommate once blurted out.‘Hard as it is, I have to ask guys oW if I want to date at all!"
Wonderful, more women are inviting men out, and men say they are delighted, often relieved, that dating no longer solely depends on their willingness and courage to take the first step. Then why am I digging my nails into my hand trying to muster up courage'？
I keep telling myself to relax since dating is less stereotypical and more casual today. A college date means anything from studying together to sex. Most of my peers prefer casual dating anyway because it`s cheaper and more comfortable. Students have fewer anxiety attacks when they ask somebody to play tennis than when they plan a formal dinner date. They enjoy last minute let's make dinner together“dates because they not only avoid hassling with attire and transportation but also dun't have time to agonize.
Casual dating also encourages people to form healthy friendship prior to starting relationships My roommate and he;r boyfriend were friends for four months before their chemistries clicked,they went to movies and meals and often rot together with mutual friends, they alternated paying the dinner check."He was like a girlfriend "my roommate once laughed-blushing"。 M and women relax and get to know each other more easily through such friendships. Another friend of mine believes that casual dating is improving people's social lives. When she wants to Iw a guy know she is interested. she will say, "Hey, let's go pct a yoghurt"
Who payfor it? My past tlatrs have taught me some things. You don't know if I'll get the wrong idea if you treat me for dinner,and I don't know if paying for myself. John whipped out his wallet on our first flute betore I could suggest we go Dutch.
During our full dinner stroll he told me he wa; interested in dating me on steady basis. After I explained I was more interested in a friendship. he told me he would have understood have I paid for my dinner. "I have practically ；topped treating women on dates.'"He said defensively. "It is safer and more comtbrtable when we each pay for ourselves." John has assumed that because I graciously accepted his treat, I was in love. He was mad at Himself for treating me,and I regretted allowing him to.
Larry. on the other hand. blushed when I otfercd to pay fur my meal on our first date. I unzipped my purse and Hung out my wallet, and he looked at me as if I had addressed him in a foreign language. Hesitant. I asked politely, "How much do I owe you''" Larry muttered, "uh, uh, you really don"t owe me anything, but if you insist.。."
Insist. I thought. I only offered. To Larry, my gesture was a suggestion of rejection.
Sliding into his desk, he taps my shoulde and says "Hi, Laura, what's up'？"
"Good morning”I answered with nervous chills Hey, how would you like to have lunch after class on Friday"
"You meant attcr the tnidtenn'？" he says encouragingly I'd love to go to lunch with you.
"We have a date"I smile.

英语爱情故事：爱德华 篇5
In 1970, two years before his death, Edward said:
There are some people who think that I was wrongto give away my crown. But they don't understandtrue love.
When I was young，I lived in Buckingham Palace. Icould have anything that I wanted. But I wasn'thappy be-cause my heart was empty.
Then I met Wallis and everything changed. For half of my life I have lived here with the mostbeautiful woman in the world. And she is everything to me.
When I sit in my garden with the Duchess by my side, I sometimes think about my early life. Iremember the days alone in my bedroom. I remember the teacher who hit me with a stick. Iremember the war and my travels around the world. And then I remember the crowds of peoplebelow my window，who shouted: "Long live love!"
On my last night in London I spoke with Winston Churchill. In the middle of our conversationhe said: "I think, Sir, that the best things in life are free." I have nev-er forgotten those words. And now, many years later, I un-derstand what they mean. You cannot buy happiness. And youcannot buy love.
To be happy deep inside your heart is the most wonderful thing in the world. I have been alucky man. And so I say：
"Thank God for Wallis，and LONG LIVE LOVE!"
1970年，即爱德华去世前两年，他曾说过：
有些人认为我放弃王位是错误的。但他们不懂得真正的爱情。
我年轻的时候住在白金汉宫。我想要的东西都能得到。但我并不快乐，因为我的内心是空虚的。
后来我遇到了沃利斯，一切都变了。我的后半生都和这位世界上最美丽的女人在这里一起度过。她就是我的一切。
我和公爵夫人一起坐在花园里时，有时会想起自己早年的生活。我想起自己孤零零待在卧室里的那些日子。我想起那个用棍子打我的老师。我想起战争和周游世界的旅行。我想起那些聚集在我窗下的人群，他们高呼着：“爱情万岁！”
我离开伦敦前的最后一个晚上和温斯顿�邱吉尔做过一次长谈。谈话中，他说：“陛下，我认为生活中最好的事情是无偿的。”我从未忘记这句话。现在，许多年之后，我才理解了它的涵义。幸福是买不到的。爱情也是买不到的。
内心深处的幸福是世界上最美妙的。我是一个幸运的人。所以，我要说：
“感谢上帝给了我沃利斯，爱情万岁！”

英语爱情故事：
I think of the another story, an old couple. A wife who has a fatal illness will soon be born, and the doctor needs to tell the patient that she has only three months. The young doctor did not have the heart to tell the old lady directly, so he told the old man first. The old man listened and said, "can you not tell my wife?" She has a little courage, and I'm afraid she knows that she will be afraid later. I also want to take her to Venice, which is said to be hand in hand under the sigh bridge, and the next life will be together. "
The doctor agreed. After the doctor knew it, he told him that it was the doctor's duty to inform the patient. So the young doctor had to tell the old lady the condition. The old lady was unexpectedly the calm, and she said, "you shouldn't tell my husband about this yet?" I beg you not to do that. I'm sorry that I've gone. We're going to go to Venice. It is said that under the sigh bridge hand in hand, the next life will be together.。. "
Love is to find that you are in love with the stupidest man in the world. When you really fall in love with a person, do you often feel this way? He is all thumbs. He can't take good care of himself. He doesn't have any self-care ability at all. Well, what does he do without you.。. For my lover, the one hand you expect him to take charge as chief of, mature, can let the love of your life, on the other hand, you also slightly worried about spoiling his dirty clothes, forgot something, enough to eat, sleep well. It's like expecting him to be forty years old and take care of him as a three year old.
Yi Shu said to love a person, he is the most stupid you feel to be everywhere, people worry about care, and to love people, often think he did not have to worry about us to be clever and sensible. It was like knowing the little prince of love, and finally knowing how stupid it was to stop being eaten by a tiger with only four prickly roses.
Even if a tiger doesn't eat roses at all, even if there are no tigers at all, the little prince who finds himself in love with that unique rose is full of thoughts: she has only four thorns.
我又想起一个故事，是一对老夫妇。妻子得了绝症将不久于人世，医生需告知病人她只有三个月的时间。年轻的医生不忍心直接告诉老太太，于是先跟老头说了。老头听了之后说：“能不能别告诉我的妻子？她胆子小，我怕她知道以后会害怕。我还想带她去威尼斯，据说在叹息桥下牵手，下辈子就还会在一起。”
医生感动地答应了。结果主治医生知道后，却告诉他：告知病人病情是医生的职责。于是，年轻的医生不得不把病情告诉了老太太。老太太出乎意料地平静，她说：“你应该还没把这件事情告诉我丈夫吧？我求你不要这样做。我走了他会很难过的，我们还要去威尼斯。据说在叹息桥下牵手，下辈子就还会在一起……”
爱是发觉自己爱上全世界最笨的那个人。当你真的爱上一个人的时候，是否常有这样的感触：他笨手笨脚，他完全照顾不好自己，他一点儿生活自理能力都没有。唉，没有你，他可怎么办……对于爱人，一方面你期望他独当一面、成熟稳重，可以让你托付终身，另一方面，你又略带溺爱地担心他弄脏衣服，忘带东西，吃不饱饭，睡不好觉。就如同一面期望他有四十岁的成熟，又一面把他当三岁孩子来照顾。
亦舒说喜欢一个人，就总觉着他是天底下最笨的，处处都要人操心照顾，而对于不喜欢的人，往往觉着他聪明伶俐，丝毫不用我们担心。就好像懂了爱的小王子，终于明白只有四根刺的玫瑰说要防止被老虎吃掉，是一件多么笨的事情。
哪怕老虎根本不吃玫瑰，哪怕根本没有老虎，发现自己爱上那朵独一无二的玫瑰的小王子，满脑子想的就是：她只有四根刺呀……
英文爱情故事精选：爱，能持续多久 篇8
My aunt died back in about 2003. She was eighty-four and so was my uncle. When she passed he was devastated. They had been married for over 60 years. We expected him to pass on quickly after she died. He attended his church more frequently and his mourning was nearly unbearable to witness. His only daughter lived clear across the country so he had only the rest of the extended family and church family to comfort him.
My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty-five years before. It was very hard to part with the home they built together. He was going to move into an apartment, but at the last moment, my cousin and he saw a new house for sale, that was close to his business. She helped him buy furniture and a flat screen television. He had not watched television for years because of his religion. He was like a kid with a new toy but still grieved horribly for my aunt.
One day he called my cousin who was living in Texas and told her that he reconnected with a lady from a church that he and my aunt went to forty years previously. She played piano and his church was looking for new music. Her husband had died about seven years previously. He said he just wanted someone to go out to dinner with and spend time with. We were happy for them but had no idea how it would turn out. They were both almost eighty-seven years old.
They were like lovebirds and spent as much time together as they could. They both had one child each, she a son, he a daughter. She had a house that her father built for her when she got married to her first husband. She was content there.
The other fly in the ointment was that they were both very busy people. They both still worked! They were in their mid-eighties and both had their own family businesses. She worked for her son who took over the family business and he had his own business. The clash in their relationship came when they neither wanted to leave their respective churches. She went to her Baptist church that she had attended for many years and he went to his, which was a Pentecostal. They decided to remain friends but nothing more. He was broken-hearted, but felt that his religion was the only way. She didn’t want to leave her church and didn’t like the extreme of his.
Before too long they realized that they did not want to be apart. They would find a new church together. They planned to marry. When he took her to a jewelry store and bought her a diamond, the employees were so impressed that they had a big write up in our own local paper, "'The Truth' for Valentines' Day." They prepared for their wedding. They moved the wedding date up because neither wanted to wait any longer to "be together," and it was not proper to "be together" without being married.
They got married in her house, where they decided they would live. It was such a beautiful refreshing thing to see, two people who you would have thought had pretty much lived their lives, were beginning a new one together. I have never seen my uncle happier. He is still in love and she loves him as much as he loves her.
我伯母大约在2015年去世。她已是84岁高龄，我伯父与她同龄。伯母的去世对伯父来说是个沉重的打击。他们结婚超过60年了。伯母去世后，我们以为伯父很快也会跟着离开。伯父愈加频繁地去教会，他的悲恸几乎令人不忍目睹。他唯一的女儿一直住在离他很远的另一个地方，因而他只能从家族的远亲以及教会同伴那里寻求慰藉。
我堂姐游说伯父卖掉那栋他和伯母大概在25年前一起建造的房子。要离开他俩一起建造的“家”，这对伯父而言非常艰难。他准备搬进一间公寓，不过就在最后一刻，我堂姐和他看中了一栋待售的新房，而且这房子离伯父的公司很近。堂姐帮伯父买来了家具和一台平板电视机。由于他的宗教信仰，伯父已经很多年没有看电视了。他如同一个拿到一件新玩具的孩子那样开心，不过对于伯母的离去，他还是非常伤心。
有一天，伯父打电话给我那住在得克萨斯州的堂姐，告诉她说他和一位女士重新取得了联系，而那位女士来自他和伯母40多年前常去的一间教堂。那位女士会弹钢琴，而伯父所在的教会正要找新的音乐伴奏。那位女士的丈夫大约七年前去世了。伯父说，他只是想有个人一起出去吃饭，一起消磨时光。我们很为他们俩高兴，却不知道结果会如何。他们俩都将近87岁高龄。
他们俩如同一对恩爱夫妻一般，尽可能多地在一起共度时光。他们各自都有一个孩子，她有个儿子，而他有个女儿。她有栋房子，是她父亲在她和第一任丈夫结婚时为她建的。她在里面住得很满意。
另一处美中不足的是，他们俩都是非常忙碌的人。他们俩都仍然在工作！他们都已80多岁，都还有各自的家族生意。她为已经接管了家族生意的儿子工作，而他有自己的公司。
他们都不愿意脱离各自的教会，这使得他们的关系出现了冲突。她去的是已经加入多年的浸礼会，而他去的是五旬节派教会。他们决定只做朋友，别无他求。对此，伯父伤心不已，不过他感到自己的信仰是唯一的抚慰方式。而她不想离开自己所在的教会，也不喜欢他的教会那么偏激。不久，两人意识到他们并不想分开。他们要一起加入一个新的教会，并打算结婚。当他带着她前往一家珠宝店给她买钻戒时，那些店员们都非常感动，写了一大篇文章发表在我们当地的报纸上，标题为“情人节‘真谛’”。他们为婚礼做着准备。由于他们俩都迫不及待地想要“在一起”，而不结婚就不是严格意义上的“在一起”，所以他们把婚期提前了。
他们在她的房子里举行了婚礼，并决定婚后一起住在那里。这是一件看来如此美好而令人欣喜的事情——两位你原以为已经度过了大半生的老人即将在一起开始新生活。我从未看到我伯父像现在这般快乐幸福。他仍然沉浸在爱河中，而且他们彼此深爱着对方。
如果你曾认为，寻找真爱对你来说已经太迟，或者你的人生已经结束了，那么你应该多看看像他们俩这样的浪漫故事。他们都还在工作，而且他们现在已经结婚将近两年了。再过两个月，他们俩都将迎来90岁高寿，他们热爱两人在一起的生活。同时，他们仍然维系着各自的家庭、一起去教堂、和他们的家人朋友们一起外出聚餐。寻找真爱永远不会太迟，无论是再一次还是第一次！
