Song lyrics in italics.
It had been so close to perfect.
Perfect song.
Perfect dress.
Perfect dance.
Perfect date.
And an almost perfect kiss.
Then in the blink of an eye he had left me.
"You spin around and disappear, under the floor where I stand. I'm left with a bag in my hands."
He just left me. We were dancing. About to share our first real couple kiss and he left me.
I spent 3 hours searching for him. A familiar face in a sea of taffeta and bow ties, but he was gone.
I knew where he had gone. I knew the second I had turned around and saw he had disappeared. He left me to go to her.
Because if Lana is in trouble, be it twisters or shape shifting teenage girls. Clark Kent has to save her.
"It's hard to push for the truth, when lies are easy to find. I'm left with this trouble in mind."
For him I'm so willing to put aside my journalistic tendencies and curiosities and just believe it when he gives me a half truth or a bold face lie.
Clark has his baggage, just like anyone, but his is so much more. I know one day he will trust me enough, maybe even love me enough, to tell me the answers to the questions of his mysteries, but tonight we just took a giant step back from that.
"Cause you come and go again like the tide. While on the shoreline I stand washed of my pride."
Tonight I stood there looking at the couples comforting and supporting each other while the storms raged outside. Worried over family and home. At what the world might be like outside the gym when it was all over and I couldn't help feeling like a jealous fool.
I may have gotten to go to the dance with my prince charming, but another princess has him now.
In the end she always gets him. Even when he is not with her, he's with her. No matter how hard I try and get past the hold she has on him. On his heart, I just can't.
And I don't think I can do this anymore.
"And the truth I keep pushing aside, is that it's time to walk away."
I can't contend with her anymore and I can't keep letting myself get hurt like this. I'm raw. Emotionally raw. It took so long to get him to see me as anything other than his "gal pal". I can't always be wondering, be waiting, for the shoe to drop and for him to leave me again.
"You should have known this from the start. I'm left with a piece of my heart."
I need to just leave. Walk away from him and this pain I'm feeling in my heart. I don't know if I can handle going thru this again. Especially when I know now, for sure, that the feelings aren't reciprocated. They can't be. Because if he really cared about me, then he wouldn't be able to leave me so easily.
I can feel the tears threatening to fall, behind my eyes. I hate being such a girl sometimes. Just give it up, I tell myself.
Sometimes, no matter how much we wish.
No matter how much we want.
Somethings just aren't meant to be.
“I’m walking away.”
