Babbling

Sometimes it is hard to stop talking and really few things could be more frightening than to create an impression of intent that it is frankly very hard to negate without intense embarrassment and while there are worse things it rarely seems so at the time.

Then when it is over being alone is terribly hard, but usually there is sleep soon and that helps. And there is no longer any pressure to make sense, so really there is much for which to be grateful.

Sleep now, then, and perhaps the words will stop when they are so demonstrably unwelcome.
