I have watched any anime you have mentioned but stil i can recommend few show that can fit your criteria

Domestic girlfriend
Ef a tale of memories
Yosuga no sora - this is my personal favourite, i felt hollow from inside after finishing this

Others that can fit your list

True tears
Elfen lied - romance is not the main focus of the show but there is some in it and it is good
Sola - not that good but worth one time watch
Vampire knight - may be

Recently I found just such an anime I want to eat your pancreas. I was just browsing and found this tragic anime.
Don't let the strange title of this film stop you from watching it. "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a beautiful but tragic story that will stay with you even after the credits roll. A withdrawn and antisocial high school student accidentally learns that his popular, funny classmate Sakura suffers from an incurable pancreatic disease. Since he is the only one who knows her secret, Sakura befriends him and over time they become close. Although the premise sounds predictable, the film will surprise you with the direction it takes towards the end. Both characters discover that their bond is even deeper than romantic love and they change each other for the better.

Did you make an acc just to post this? Anyway, try reading the OP before posting next time.
