Late-Night Loneliness...

Sometimes, when the night shift starts to drag on and there's not much else going on but counting down minutes till I can go home, I find myself thinking about all the stuff I miss out on during my hours... My friends are sleeping in a different world with dreams I can only imagine... All those late-night conversations they have over coffee or snacks, laughing at jokes that would probably make me chuckle too if I could be there. But nope, here I am, watching from afar while the rest of them live their lives...
