The characters from Smallville belong to DC and the WB.

The lovers stand
Toe to toe
Each without a plan
Of where next to go

For years, they danced
Round and round
At the other, they glanced
Without a single sound

He felt weak
Doubts about his power
Did his back with yellow streak
Before Love, he did cower.

She was afraid
Of losing him if he knew
Fear, her voice did stay
Love had silenced her too.

But then by chance
Love did change
The rules of the dance
Through an event most strange

A friend returned from the grave
The woman, she tried to kill
The man, his love did save
And did her trust fulfill.

Now as they watch
Each other's look
Trying not the act to botch
And their collective goose cook.

Finally she broke down
Her love, she did profess
Even as she risked a frown
And his valuing her less

He a smile flashed
And revealed his feelings too
Even as doubts he mashed
His spirit no longer blue

They hold hands
They gaze into each other's eye
By the other, one stands
As they study the night sky

No longer do they dance
Round and round
Now they share a glance
As each other, they have found.
