The darkness and I share a deep relationship.

I don't see it and it can't see me.

I feel it's presence all over me and it senses me, occasionally.

I don't need to acknowledge it's presence and neither does it acknowledge mine.

We both like this.

No questions asked. No answers to be given.

The strangeness and emptiness, that we are both familiar with, and that common fear: Light.

Light that drives you away and fills me with reality.

And suddenly, I feel your absence.

Who knows darkness could be a good companion.
