I was made for midnight, the time when most would retreat into their homes and shut out the world. The time when the moon reigns supreme, casting long shadows that dance upon the pavement. It was a time of quiet, a time of solitude, a time of secrets.

I, Oliver, found solace in the stillness. The silent whispers of the leaves on the pavement were my only companions, their rustling a symphony in the quiet night. It was in these moments that I felt a strange connection with the world around me.

The moon, high and bright, bathed everything in a soft, ethereal glow. The mist hung low, gently enveloping the world in a blanket of mystery. It was a world that most would never see, a world that most would never understand. Yet, I was drawn to it.

I was not alone in my love for midnight. There were others who found comfort in the darkness, others who danced beneath the stars. Their laughter echoed in the night, a testament to their joy. It was a world of their own, a world where they were free.

As I watched them, a sense of longing filled me. I yearned to join them, to feel the rhythm of the night in my veins. But my fear held me back, chaining me to the shadows. It was a fear of rejection, a fear of the unknown.

It was then that I saw her. A woman who moved with the grace of the wind, her laughter ringing out like a melody. She was a creature of the night, just like me.

Lily, like a beacon in the dark, drew me in. Her light was warm and inviting, a stark contrast to the cold, harsh world that I was used to. It was an intoxicating feeling, one that I could not resist.

For the first time, I found myself leaving the safety of the shadows. I stepped into the light, my heart pounding in my chest. The world around me seemed to hold its breath, waiting for my next move.

And then, I danced. I danced under the moonlight, with the leaves rustling beneath my feet. I danced with Lily, our laughter echoing in the night. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy.

The night was no longer a lonely place for me. It was a place of love, a place of connection, a place of joy. I was no longer alone in the darkness. I had found my place beneath the stars.

I was made for midnight. But not for its quietness or its stillness or its secret hiding places. No, I was made for its magic, its beauty, and its freedom. For it was in the midnight that I had found my dance, my joy, and my love.
