How do you even see Venus at night?

Hi,

I need an Astronomer or a Planetary Science Man to explain this to me but apparently you can see Venus in the night sky. How does that even work?
I mean at night the planet is dark cause the surface we're living on is facing AWAY from the damn Sun. We see the moon cause the moon is behind us as well and reflecting the light off the Sun. But how is it possible to look at Venus when that bloody planet on an inner-orbit. Like, logically if you think about it there is no way to look at Venus while we're away from its general direction, so there's no way for its light to even reach our faces.

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
