I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done.
He held her close, desperately trying to memorize the way her small frame fit into his perfectly. How could she leave him after they were finally together? He could feel her gentle sobs against his chest, he couldn't cry. He had to be strong for her.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here
He pulled her chin up and placed a feather soft kiss on her rosy lips. She returned his kiss with all of her love for him, creating a much deeper kiss. He followed suit with a deep need. He heard his mother utter, "Clark, she needs to go.."
Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
He bent to whisper in her ear, "I love you Lana and I always will. I will never stop. My heart will always beat for you.."
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
She let her tears glide freely down her face as she gave him one last hug then climbed into the car beside Chloe.
To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.
"good bye Lana.." He spoke soft enough that no one could hear.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Chloe rested her hand on Lana's shoulder as they drove down the dusty road away from Clark. Lana was tempted to turn and watch Clark but she couldn't bring herself to see his so pain filled eyes.
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Clark finally turned and went slowly to his loft. He let his tears flow as he picked up her going away present for him. It was a photo album full of pictures of them. Some as old as ones from when they were in Elementary school. He flipped to the back of the book to the most resent picture.
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
They were at the Talon on the closing day and she was sitting on his lap. He had his arms wrapped around her in a protective manner. She was opening his present for her. It was a locket with a picture of them together. In the picture he was kissing her forehead, both of them had their eyes closed.
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.
He shut the album and lay back on his couch, shutting his swollen eyes. Laying in kryptonite was better than this pain he had. He slowly drifted off, his final thought being about Lana.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.
