conversations in the dark

truth rings out into the darkness
the obscurity encouraging honesty
something about the fact that we can’t see each other,
can only go by the sound of our voices
makes the conversation turn earnest and sincere
as secrets that have never known daylight spill out of our mouths
to be sealed within the infinite darkness.
and then for some inexplicable reason,
we’re giggling again, uncontrollably,
laughing till we cry.
and in these moments
all I can think
is how much I love
conversations in the dark
