Another song fic! This is in Kaoru's POV, if she loved Kenshin but Kenshin loved Misao. Hope you enjoy it! ^_^ Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or "The Trouble With Love Is".

The Trouble With Love Is

*** Love can be a many splendored thing

Can't deny the joy it brings

A dozen roses, diamond rings

Dreams for sale and fairy tales

It'll make you hear a symphony

And you just want the world to see

But like a drug that makes you blind,

It'll fool ya every time

***

I lay in my bed, unaware that I had been dreaming. It was the same dream I had had when I thought he would love me. In my dreams, he'd love me so and shower me with gifts. It was exactly how I thought things would turn out, but they didn't..........

***

The trouble with love is

It can tear you up inside

Make your heart believe a lie

It's stronger than your pride

The trouble with love is

It doesn't care how fast you fall

And you can't refuse the call

See, you got no say at all

***

I sighed deeply, thinking about how foolish I had been. I thought he'd love me as I loved him. I finally had gathered up my courage to tell him how I felt, but he didn't react the way I thought he would. No...... he didn't love me, he loved her..... Misao.....

*** Now I was once a fool, it's true

I played the game by all the rules

But now my world's a deeper blue

I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too

I swore I'd never love again

I swore my heart would never mend

Said love wasn't worth the pain

But then I hear it call my name

***

I should've expected this. Why would he love me? I'm not worth anything to him, anyway. I was 'aggressive', as Megumi said. He'd been so kind to me, yet I hid my feelings from him. It's my own fault, I'm the only one to blame for this....... I swore to myself, I wouldn't love anyone every again........

***

The trouble with love is

It can tear you up inside

Make your heart believe a lie

It's stronger than your pride

The trouble with love is

It doesn't care how fast you fall

And you can't refuse the call

See, you got no say at all

***

I believed with all my heart that he'd love me back, only to have it broken. I guess part of me knew that already, he'd never love someone like me. Yet I had to find out for myself, I don't know what made me do it. I couldn't help myself, and I'd been hurt........

***

Every time I turn around

I think I've got it all figured out

My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'

Over and over again

The sad story always ends the same

Me standin' in the pourin' rain

It seems no matter what I do

It tears my heart in two

***

But no matter what I do, I can't get over him. I keep on thinking, how would it be if he loved me? Unintentionally, I think of ways to make him love me, instead of Misao. I know it's wrong, but I can't help myself. No matter what in my thoughts, it always ends up with him loving her even more. It would end the same way as when I told him, I'd be alone in the falling raindrops.

*** (The trouble with love is) Oh, yeah

(It can tear you up inside)

(Make your heart believe a lie)

***

My heart still believes that I have a chance, but I know better. Perhaps he is not the person I'm meant to love. One day, I'll find someone...... Someone who'll love me as I will love them.......
