"I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love"

I think it's super sweet of you to say that you'd like to be my donor love, but I know . . . God . . . will find a donor for me. Nothing to worry about, see! I can't believe I just lied to Ceci; I don't know if I believe in God!
