Here is a poem that I wrote using the phrase "could not help" in both meanings:
```
I could not help but smile
When I saw your face
You brightened up my day
With your charm and grace
I could not help but wonder
What you thought of me
Did you feel the same way
Or was it just a fantasy
I could not help but hope
That you would be mine
You were the perfect match
For my heart's design
I could not help but fear
That you would break my heart
You had the power to hurt me
With a single word or a dart
I could not help but love you
With all that I had
You were the best thing
That ever made me glad
```
