talking
laughing
messing around
hide and seek in the dark
the darkness comforted me.
partly the night's comfort,
but also being surrounded
surrounded by darkness
eyes adjusted to the darkness
nocturnally adapted,
almost
the rush of hearing footsteps by me
the racing of my heart
fear and anticipation of me getting found
eyes wide open
music playing softly in the background
hand over my watch
as to not give away my spot
the darkness is welcomed
always with open arms
deep talks penetrate
open things i didn't know were closed
unlock things i didn't know were locked
secrets told
laughing
joy
sleepovers overpower hangouts
to me, at least
they're during the night.
sure,
that means i can't appreciate the moon as fully,
but
i'm silently appreciating it
with the company of someone else
letting someone else in
it's comforting
