Would you wait if I came running home to you?
God she's beautiful, Lucas thought. How could a girl like her ever love someone like me? He sat and watched Brooke flit about the racks of clothing, so busy that she hadn't even noticed he was there. When he had heard that she was coming back to Tree Hill, he couldn't help but go to see her. He was currently backstage at a Clothes Over Bros fashion show, and the only reason they had let him in was because he had told them he was one of her assistants. He felt a little guilty about not doing anything, but he couldn't help it. He hadn't seen Brooke in years, except for the occasional magazine, but she was breathtaking in person. With a smile on her face, she glowed, impossibly happy doing what she loved. Just seeing her again put a smile on Lucas' face.
Or if I moved right down the street a block or two?
Lucas couldn't explain why he had felt the need to see her, since their relationship had been over a long time ago, but he felt good knowing she would be close to home again. He could see her anytime he wanted.
He leaned against a stool and crossed his arms, partly to take in the craziness that surrounded him, but mostly to get out of the way of the scary-looking people that kept shouting at him.
Distance is never on my side,
When Brooke and Peyton had left, it had never occurred to him that they would stay gone. Eventually, he and Peyton had realized that they were not meant to be, just as he and Brooke had, but that didn't mean that they weren't a big part of his life. They had been away from their hometown ever since, seemingly leaving him behind. But Brooke had come back, to him, to their friends, and to Jamie, the Godson she hadn't seen in over four years. Lucas knew that Brooke hadn't come back for him, she had come back because Haley and Nathan needed her help, and she was the kind of person that would do anything for a friend.
It only seems to make our dreams collide
Lucas knew that both he and Brooke had agreed that their relationship was best as just friends, but in the back of his mind, he couldn't help wondering what would happen. She had been his first love, she would always be close to his heart, but was there a possibility that love could be rekindled?
Brooke had finally noticed him. She waved enthusiastically, a grin stretching across her face. He waved and smiled back, and started to get up to go talk to her, but just then, a tall, dark-haired guy walked up behind her, gently turned her around, and kissed her. Shocked, Lucas just stood there, not sure what to do. He hadn't expected this, Brooke had always been perfectly happy on her own. He wondered if this meant that she had forgotten about the small town that she had grown up in. Had she abandoned her old life, and in doing so, abandoned him?
And you have gone on to someone new.
