"Why couldn't you love me?"

"Because I knew it from the start.

The only thing you could ever do

is break and crush my heart."
.

"Why can't you just give me a chance

to prove the stereotype wrong.

Why do you assume that I can't change

You just can't see that we belong-"

.

"Together? How many times

have you said thatbefore?

To other girls,or other guys

I'm not going to be one more."
.

"Madeline, I'm here today

To forget about my streak.

To put the past long behind me,

to change a life that's looking bleak"
.

"You really think you're capable

of such an impossible feat?

You really think that you can heal

all the hearts you've already reaped?
.

Mine won't be as easy

you can't die if you don't fight.

I won't end up broken

Because of an oversight."
.

"Birdie, I can promise you

that I can be that guy.

The one whose always there for you.

The one who won't let you cry."
.

I saw a drop of sincerity

glistening in his eyes

Those ruby portals to another world

caught me by surprise
.

"Gilbert, what to do with you?

You've gone and gotten my heart.

I tried to resist: I tried to say no.

But I've loved you from the start."
.

I saw a spark light in his eyes

as his hand reached up and took mine

My heart beat faster, just for a moment

as I felt our fingers intertwine
.

He took a small step forwards

Our faces were inches apart

I felt his hand slide to my shoulder

he pulled me into a kiss from the heart
.

I kissed him back, i know it

Something I said I would never do

I started to think, for a moment

that his love for me was true
.

He pulled away with a cocky grin

taking a step back as he did

I could feel fireworks dying down

in my stomach, so well hid
.

"It was nice to see you Madeline,

but this isn't really goodbye.

Stop by the Beilshmidt place later

just to come in and say hi?"
.

I looked up to his shining bright face

Staring into his deep red eyes

I knew in my heart it was time

for hellos, not goodbyes
.

I did stop by your place later

at dinner time in fact

You welcomed me with open arms

and your famous lack of tact
.

We ate in silence, all of us

You, your brother, and I

And the happy little Italian

who had caught Ludwig's eye
.

We sat around after dinner

lounging on your couch

watching cartoons and fairy tales

side by side in a comfortable slouch
.

I sat up straight and raised my arms

in a small relaxing stretch

My feet found contact with the floor

leaving not far-fetched
.

He looked to me for an explanation

lost as a cat in a storm

"I'm sorry Gil, I have to go."

I answered his glance, forlorn
.

"Curfew?" He asked bluntly

I sighed and looked away

"Just an overprotective brother

nothing else to say."
.

And though it was but 8 o'clock

I made my way back home

To think about what had happened

This life where I'd been thrown.
.

I reached my house in minutes

I lived just down the street

The small, old two-story house

is where I made my retreat
.

The air was warm and calm

as I slipped inside the door

My thoughts began to wander

back to where they came before
.

Those scarlet eyes, so captivating

moonbeams spun into hair

The always cocky smile

with courage that didn't care
.

I quickly picked up my cell phone

dialing a number I'd thought i lost

Some rings turned into his voicemail

The message recorded by his boss
.

'Oh well, I'll just surprise him!"

Was all I had to say

With an idea firm set in my mind

I retired for the day
.

The sun was shining brightly

as I sat up without delay

the plan coiled up, ready to strike

had me comforted in a way
.

I dressed and prepared quickly

then set out down the street

My stride was wide and confident

not once tripping over my feet
.

I knocked quietly on the door

but no response was running

I slowly turned the handle

not aware of what was coming
,

I stepped out of the entryway

into the silent hall

until I reached a terrible scene

the one that topped them all
.

He lay there, with his smirk on his face

sleeping peacefully on the floor

With a woman wrapped in his arms

I could see through the gap in the door
.

I crept inside that little room

with its white paint job so clean

the clothing that littered the floor

had never seemed so obscene
.

A choked noise escaped my lips

Seeing her here, with him

Her luscious brown hair falling in waves

as he cheated again and again
.

I felt a cry rise through my chest

and escape out through my lips

I didn't know what was happening anymore

this heartbreak was new to my list
.

Gilbert woke up with startled eyes

The girl just kept on sleeping

As for me, well you know

I was already weeping
.

"Gilbert" I said, the word sounding choked

" Madeline? How'd you get here?"

"The are more important things than that at the moment

like who is this woman dear?"
.

"Maddie, I can- really explain"

"Well then, please do.

I trusted you, you lied to me!

So far, nothings new
.

When you asked just yesterday

why I could not love you.

I had my reasons, your reputation

You claimed you were somebody new
.

But now you've proven yourself wrong

And me a love-struck fool

Who runs around in her own dreams

Wishing people would play by the rule"
.

He stared at me, mouth wide open

eyes widened in shock

but even more as I turned away

before he could even talk

.

"Why can't I love you?

Well, I tried it from the start

But all I ever got from it

was a crushed and broken heart."
