How did I ever get to here Why do I need you Why do I have to cry these tears Where do they lead to I used to be so strong alone When I was standing on my own Now I don't know what to do
Was I too proud or just too blind What does it matter When love was in these hands of mine I let it shatter The pieces scattered to the wind I'll never have them here again But I'll remember how we were The rest of time
You are my heart How could I ever let you go You are my soul I had to lose my soul to know How much you mean To me, you are my heart
I think I see you everywhere Isn't that crazy I still reach out to feel you there Lying beside me I've learned a lot since you've been gone About what I am and what I want I know I only want to be in love with you
You are my heart How could I ever let you go You are my soul I had to lose my soul to know How much you mean To me, you are my heart To me, you are my heart
There's the sun to light the day My colors turned to gray The day I saw you walk away Now there's nothing left to say But when I dream, I pray That life could be like yesterday
You are my heart How could I ever let you go You are my soul I had to lose my soul to know How much you mean To me, you are my heart
Ooh, ooh yeah To me, you are my heart, baby To me, you are my heart
-You Are My Heart, by Lara Fabian (CD: self-titled)
Nick sighed as he threw the comic book down onto the table, not finding any joy in it. Dayley had left 2 hours earlier, and although Nick figured he should be the slightest bit sad, he really wasn't. He loved her as a friend, and he knew he would see her again, so there was no reason to be sad about it. He was glad that she was so understanding - she truly was a wonderful woman... but he just didn't feel the way that he felt about Peyton, for her.
He wondered, as he sat on the back porch, staring out at the ocean, what Peyton had wanted to talk about when she had come over earlier in the day. Though he didn't know it, Peyton was wondering what she had wanted too. It wasn't fair of her to just show up in his life all of a sudden, when he had obviously moved on - Peyton knew that very well, herself - but she had been driving by, on her way home from work, and had had a sudden urge to see him. She needed to see him. And she had, but now it didn't feel like that was enough.
Nick sighed and stood from his seat, stepping into his house, tracking sand in on his way, but not really caring. He'd clean it up later. He knew he'd told Peyton that he would call her - he'd promised her... but what would he say? "I'm sorry I cheated on you"? That seemed so... inadequate now.
As he looked out the bay window in his dining room, at the setting sun, he had the most powerful feeling come over him, more powerful than anything he'd ever felt. He'd never felt so sure of anything in his entire life. He had to see her.
He had to talk to Peyton.
