The funeral had been nice; Lex had arranged most of it. Many nice things had been said by the pastor, but it had mostly been what they usually say. The Kents had asked Lana if she had wanted to say something. She hesitated before answering them. If she said something, it would just make his death official. If she didn't, she could try to fool herself into thinking that he was still there and that this was all a bad dream. Finally she said yes, the Kents thanked her and now here she was, about to stand in front of friends and family to talk about the only guy she had really ever loved. She took a deep breath as she stood at the head of the sea of people. It was now, or never.
"Clark Kent was the best guy I have ever known. He's saved my life, more times than I can count; I'm sure he's also done the same for the rest of you that are here. I look back now and wonder 'did I ever thank him for all he's done?' I realized then that I really hadn't said anything and just taken him for granted. Chloe always said that he could make friends with anyone by just flashing his good old 'Kent charm' smile" that got laughs out of a few people. "I remember a few years ago when the Talon was sold and about to be turned into a parking lot by Lex.
"I had gone to talk to him about preserving it, but Lex just turned me down. Then I went to Clark with my problem. He just told me that Lex liked to be challenged, and all I had to do was present him with a good plan to preserve the place. Turns out he was right, now look where it's gotten me." She looked over to the Kents "I don't really know what I would've done without Clark, he was such a good person; you should be very proud of the way you raised him." She smiled at them sadly then looked toward the sky "We'll miss you Clark"
When it rains it pours
And opens doors that flood the floors
We thought would always keep us
Safe and dry
She stepped down and walked over to the Kents and was welcomed with open arms. Martha took her in and whispered, "Thank you Lana"
And in the midst of sailing ships
We sink our lips into we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion
That won't seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
When I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
The casket was lowered into the ground, and all friends and family gathered around to say their last goodbyes. Everyone there would miss Clark, his voice, his smile. Yes, everyone would miss him, but the people that would grieve the most were his loving parents, and, of course the girls of his dreams, Lana. There were many things Lana would regret not telling Clark. Like how much she appreciated him being around. When her world fell apart, he was there. When Whitney died, he was there.
And every word I didn't say
Caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen
Floor we didn't have before
She'd miss the sunsets up in his loft. When she watched them with him, she'd forget all her troubles. Everything that was going wrong in her life just seemed do disappear. He always seemed to have a knack of making that happen.
Every sunset that we'll miss
I'll let them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this
When I sail away
And while I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope
Will never leave
When Clark tried to warn her and Chloe about Ian; they wouldn't listen, they just thought he was jealous. Then in the end, told him to stop interfering with their business instead of saying thank you.
Cause when I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you made everything alright
When I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way
She couldn't even imagine what the Kents were going through. Their only son that had answered all their prayers was gone.
Whether I am up or down
Or in or out
Or just plain overhead
Instead it feels like it's impossible to fly
Lana kept hoping that this was all a dream and she'd wake up to see his smiling face again. But, every time she'd try to wake, she'd be brought slamming back down to reality.
Oh with you I can spread my wings
You see me over everything
Then life may send me when I'm hoping
It won't pass me by
When I feel like there's no one
That will ever know me
There you are to show me
That when I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And you make every thing alright
When I feel like I'm lost
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
When I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And I could always find my way when you are here
Lana felt so stupid for not telling Clark that she did care about. It was funny, the old phrase 'you don't you what you've got 'till it's gone' kept going through her mind as she thought about Clark. When she was younger she'd always thought that love-sick people had made that up. Turns out that the phrase was true. Lana walked away from the graveyard with a heavy heart. Wishing that somehow Clark would come back to her.
When I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way
When you are here
