Late Nights

Tears were in our eyes and my abs felt like they had just been through the workout of a lifetime.  It was 3am and everything either of us said seemed like the most hilarious thing in the entire world, and trying to stop laughing just made up giggle harder.  It was all I could do to not fall off the hard, cold, light blue plastic of the swing I was sitting on.  It was hard to believe that only a couple hours ago my friend and I were sitting at her home eating pizza and having an incredibly deep talk about life.  Neither of us could think about sleeping, too full of energy to even sit down.  Scared we were going to wake up her dad, we decided to go walk around outside for a bit.  It was a good thing this all was happening just when the weather was warming up from winter, the cool night air refreshing on our numb pink faces. Soon as we got outside the conversation lightened up, going from a depressing conversation about something I can’t even remember, to laughing about how ridiculously weird we both were.  I’d been up for almost 20 hours straight and was beyond the point of tired, the feeling of being light and dreamy was settling on me just making everything even more hilarious.  After walking around for about half an hour we found the most perfect park with brilliant tall swings.  We ended up sitting there for almost two, long and amusing hours before having to go home because neither of us could even keep our eyes open from exhaustion.  For over two hours we talked about absolutely nothing and still somehow had one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever has, all because that nothingness was filled with an overtired joy that had more laughing than words.
