Zhiyong Jing, Insomnia

when I first started uni I lived in one of those buildings (smaller but still) and the whole street was like that. I am an owl. I love working late. My desk was next to a window and during the night I would watch all the lights in the flats around me disappear. Except for one. In the house opposite mine about two stories up from me was another light still burning. Always at the same flat. I could see the outline of a person but not more. Sometimes we wave at each other. And when I would go to bed I always went to the window first if I saw the person I would wave and then switch of the light. They did the same too. Greeting from one night owl to another. I never met this person never saw their face but they accompanied me through my first two years as student. It was a lovely moment of connection
