Night

There are some conversations that can only be had at night. The night with its coat of darkness gives you the feeling of protection from prying eyes. The night is a romantic, whereas the day with the harsh light as his companion is the realist. At night more things seem possible, which in the day seem a fool's errand. At night you can dare to dream, the day you are forced to deal with reality and the mundaneness of your life.
But the night is also cold and lonely and cruel. And sometimes it just sneaks up upon you and leaves you utterly helpless with not even the morphine of sleep to numb the pain.
