Kathy and Tommy vs Lou and Will (Me before You)
The love stories of both Kathy & Tommy, and Lou & Will are not conventional or cliché in any sense of romance but also, their love stories are cut short because of uncontrollable outside forces.
Kathy and Tommy want as much time together as possible and they try really hard to get a deferral so they can have even a little more time together. However, since they are clones and their lives are scientifically made for donations, the system has made it impossible for them to lead normal human lives, including the fact that they are not able to live and enjoy their lives together; they aren't able to grow old together because of the way their world works and that system was out of their control.
Similarly, Lou and Will want to spend as much time together as possible but because of Will's illness, Lou has to say goodbye to him after 6 short months together. Lou tries everything she can to prevent Will from (*spoiler alert*) going through with a doctor-assisted suicide. Will is adamant that he wants to die on a certain day because he promised 6 months to his parents and he has been suffering from paralysis for so long. So for reasons out of her and Will's control, their love couldn't last forever.
