Chocolate Chase

I'm not going to lie:
I love
loving
chocolate.
The need I have for it
- much like a smoker
needs their cigarettes -
has lead to
interesting
discoveries.
Such as the little wrapped
wonders
in the top of the pantry:
They looked
like little foil insects.
But really,
they were
truffles!
I did not discover this
until I bit into one,
and the pleasant surprise
- so simple and unexpected -
has made my day.

To health fanatics,
I ask:
if my need to consume chocolate
had not driven me to the
top shelf of the pantry,
would the highlight of my day
be nearly so sweet?
