I miss the times when the night seemed to last forever just to let you have good conversations and the rest of the world was asleep. How did the night get so short and when did the world stop sleeping? 3 or 4 in the morning used to be my favorite time of day, but now that just seems too close to morning and it doesn't seem quite so private anymore. I remember staying up late and talking to people until the sun rose (or until we feel asleep right before the sun rose) and it was easier to be honest and talk about things you had never before let escape your head. I liked being able to connect with just 1 or 2 people, it really made you feel close, if even only for that night and the things you discovered and discussed were things that you never would have thought of during the day. But now 3am comes so quickly, everyone is still up and no one is in the mood for an introspective talk. Even when everyone is asleep it seems more lonely than private now. I want 3am back, I want to reclaim my time.
