Wow. *is blown away* that was tragically sad. But in one of those good ways. The kind that makes you appreciate things and life. If that makes sense... Anyway, as I said before... I was near tears, that was so well written and thoughtful. I must admit the end confused me a little, however. Tempus? Does she really love Tempus? Or am I missing some really glaring sign?
"What we shared was so beautiful, Clark. You're a very giving and loving man. Find someone who'll make you happy, who can accept everything about your life. Someone who can live tucked away from the rest of the world. She'll have to be happy with just you and nothing else."
Her hands tightened around his neck, drawing them even closer as she tried to comfort him, her lips drawing dangerously close to his, wishing she could only want only him.
"So how do we say goodbye?" Clark asked as his hands moved up her arms to mesh themselves in her hair. "How do I say goodbye to the only woman I've ever loved? Ever will love?"
Tears pooled in her brown eyes as she searched his face for some kind of answer. "It's all still here, the Kent/Lane magic - just like we never left."

It's all so sad!
But really beautiful as well. Wow. Thanks for coming back to L and C!
