...but....
 ....this girl was different...
...he vowed to love her...
...he didn't know that she would brake his vow against his will.....
...he didn't know that she would turn away the only real feeling he has ever known....
...and...
 ...now he knows what love is...
...and...
 ...now he knows how much her love means to him...
...he knows now everything he didn't want to know...
!....don't you understand....?
....he didn't know!...
.....he never wanted to know!...
....Why did she have to tell him?....
...That my heart would brake.....
...that she would leave me behind....
...and...
...close her heart to mine.....
...and hurt me......
...............................
.....I didn't know.....
..................................
................I never wanted to know.........
