People are in denial more than I thought. Who did Clark love since he was a child & for eight years on Smallville?What did Clark do in Bride when Lana came back? Who asked Lana to stay even after absorbing the meteor rocking and couldn't touch her/be near her again?

Clark & Lana separating wasn't a choice but they were forced. If Clark had the chance do you really thing he would choose Lois? I'm talking on Smallville, never saw the other things like comics and stuff.
ON SMALLVILLE, LANA & CLARK WERE THE COUPLE.
