I know that there never was a Mystery Machine.
I know that Sir Ulrich of Lichtenstein was a character and not a person.
I know that you don’t plan on loving me
A second time or ever again.
I know that you never did.
I know that you only called me because you knew that you could call me
And all of the things that you said
Were the words of a lonely heartbroken rebounding man
And for a while I did not care, I’d have done anything just to hear you breathe.
Anything to be a Bond girl.
Anything to kiss Jake Ryan.
I know that you are not my destiny, Kane, make no mistake I am lucid.
I know that we are not truly friends and we never were.
I also know that there is no such thing as a “Kermit the frog”
But I love him just the same.
I know there is no place called Gallifrey
And there are no Midichlorian anywhere-
I believe because I want to.
So yes, I know that you are a real man, a real man in love with some other woman now
With real problems and real hang ups and real disease and real pain
But the Kane in my head
The Kane who is Han Solo
The Kane who is the son of Jor El
The Kane who is Prince Eric and Prince Charming and every other imaginary Prince
I always plan on loving him
Until the end of time.
And I don’t need your permission.
