"If there's love...
I just want have something to do with it
I just want to feel yours.
When I'm alone you make me feel at home
If I give enough of you
To a higher place we'll go
You make me feel like I belong under the sun
You'll never grow old
Because you're forever young
And you know that you got my tomorrow baby
Today and yesterday
Believe that you've got my tomorrow baby
I'll hold you close as far as I can see"
Peyton's POV:
As the lyrics blared through my speakers I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness, or maybe it was merely regret. I had once had love in my life and I foolishly let it go. Granted at the time things had become unbearably rough between us. I had chosen to believe that there was nothing left to hold on to, when in all actuality there was. I can still see that sparkle in his eyes when he looks my way, but then again maybe it's all just in my mind. Maybe he never loved me, or maybe he once had but he's with her now.
Peyton roughly threw down her sketch pad, sick of staring into nothing but a blank page. It seemed as though she could draw nothing other then the rough but soft features of his face. She quickly got out of her chair and pulled the needle off the record roughly, sick of hearing the soft crooning on Citizen Cope. She drew in a deep breath as she looked around her room.
Her room had always been her safe haven, her sole sanctuary when the outside world had become to rough on her already weak soul. Now as she paced around the room all she could seem to think of was him, of the past. She bit at her lip deep in thought as she began to sift through her various vinyl albums. She had been so wrapped up in herself that she hadn't even noticed the figure standing in her door way. As she turned towards her record player, new album in hand she jumped back suddenly relizing she wasn't alone anymore. She swallowed trying to clear the lump in her throat seeing the man that occupied her thoughts constantly these past few days.
He stood there almost cockily, smirk in place due to the fact that he had managed to get some reaction out of her. He had noticed that she had been avoiding him lately and it had bothered him much more then it should, after all he already had a loving girlfriend. He cleared his throat to break the silence that had fallen between them. He couldn't help but stare into her eyes.
She tried to look away but she couldn't bear to tear her eyes away from his deep blue stare. Finally she opened her mouth as if to say something and at first she choked on her own words. Quickly she put up her casual front and attempted to act as nonchalant as possible.
"Long time no see Nate, what brings you by?"
I know it's not much, but it's just something that floated into my head as I listened to Citizen Cope's - If there's Love. I'm not really sure if I should leave this as a one shot or continue it, so please drop a reveiw and let me know what you think. Thanks for taking your time reading!
