A/N: I really just wanted to write...something, anything. And I figured it was about time for something One Tree Hill. So I was messing around, searching for an idea. And this is what came out. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: One Tree Hill belongs to Mark Schwahn and the CW, and the lyrics are from 'Maybe Tomorrow' by Stereophonics.

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. I asked her to marry me once.

And she said no.

But that was three years ago. And here I am now, her best friend having just asked me if I still love her. And I know the answer. I always have.

I want nothing more than to rewind, and have her just say yes, because it would maybe erase these past three years of mistakes.

Because right now, I'm with Lindsey and it's not what I want. She was never the one I wanted standing next to me, when all my dreams came true.

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. She broke my heart once.

And I let her.

I let her tear me apart, and get inside my head. And somedays I regret it. Somedays I regret ever letting her take a piece of my heart.

But most days, I regret not holding on to her. I regret getting on that plane to New York, and ever meeting Lindsey.

Because that's why I never went back to Peyton. And that's why we're not together now.

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. I tried to replace her once.

And it didn't work.

When Peyton never showed up at my book signing, I assumed she really didn't care anymore. That she had moved on, and maybe I should too.

But I was wrong. She was there, and Lindsey kissed my cheek. It was so meaningless to me at the time, that I had forgotten about it. But Peyton never did.

Because to her, it meant something. She thought I really had moved on to Lindsey. But I hadn't.

---

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. She came home once.

And I pushed her away.

She returned to Tree Hill, and I was with Lindsey. I had convinced myself I was happy, that everything was fine without Peyton.

But once again I was wrong. Compared to Peyton, Lindsey was just another face in the crowd. When Peyton was around, I saw no one else.

Because she was it for me. The one. And nothing could change that, not even Lindsey.

---

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. She told me my art mattered once.

And she was right.

I was stuck. Lindsey wanted me to write a second novel, but I just couldn't. Back in high school, the people around me inspired me.

But Lindsey was the only one I spent any time with, and what could I write about her? I wanted her to mean something, but she didn't.

Because everything leads back to Peyton for me. Every thought. Every word. It's all Peyton.

---

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. One day, I'm going to marry her.

Maybe tomorrow.

So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home

reviews are love. :)
