I Adore You...by Stranger than Fiction

I adore you.

Sometimes, when we lose ourseleves in fear and despair in routine and constancy...
in hopelessness and tragedy...

...we can thank God for Bavarian surgar cookies,
And fortunately, when there aren't any cookies...
...we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin...
...or a kind and loving gesture...
...or a subtle encouragement...
...or a loving embrace...
...or an offer of comfort.

Not to mention hospital gurneys...
...and nose plugs...
...and uneaten Danish...
...and soft-spoken secrets...
...and Fender Stratocasters...
...and maybe the occasional piece of fiction.

And we must remenber that all these things...
the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties...
which we assume only accessorize our days...
...are, in fact, here for a much larger and nobler cause;

They are here to save our lives,
I know the idea seems strange.
But I also know that it just so happens to be true,
And so it was;
