Thoughts in the Dark

I'm not sure why I find pillow talk so appealing. You know, the sweet whisper of conversation that happens, 2 people laying side by side, looking up through the darkness at the ceiling, trying to put order to the day's thoughts and feelings. 

There is comfort in the cover of darkness. It's almost as if you can give voice and life to your inner most feelings, hopes and fears, without repercussion. These pieces of your soul are given life and then, released into the darkness, hover over you and then are swallowed by the night. It's the most revealing tale of intimacy between two people. No matter if they lovers or best friends, sometimes both. Depending on the players it's a matter of nuance, a matter of word choice: Pillow Talk, Gossip, Girl-Talk, Confession. No matter the name I'm thankful for the cover of darkness that makes sure my unmasked soul remains intact.
