Smallville, Season 7, ep11. Lois Lane talking to Clark Kent


“Can you imagine what it’s like to look into someone’s eyes and know their destiny is so much greater than yours than you will never compete? That you will always be left behind?”

“That would be hard for anyone…”

“No, I can’t be left behind one more time”

So many times I have thought what Lois is thinking. She’s talking about someone she loves so much but has to let go because she will always be second place in his life, will always have to be worrying about his future, and reflect that whatever she does no matter how hard she tries, no matter how many sacrifices she has to take…she will never catch up to him. He is someone greater than she will ever be.
