I like to call it nighttime brain: the way your mind seems to function on a different frequency than it does during daylight hours - which can be good or bad but also can lead to unexpected epiphanies or experiences that wouldn't be the same at any other time of day.

I have had affairs that lasted decades and others that lasted for hours. I have loved princesses and peasants. And I suppose they loved me, each in their way.

You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that's enough.

But you built me dreams instead.

Everything I have done, every change I have made to that circus, every impossible feat and astounding sight, I have done for her.

I do not like sitting idly by when something clearly isn't right. I feel... not trapped but something like it, and I don't know what to about.
