I Think I Fell in Love with Her Energy Before Her Smile

It’s late night again, and my thoughts are doing that thing they always do, drifting into the quiet corners of my mind. But maybe this time, it’s different. Maybe this time, I have someone to think about. Not just a passing thought or a fleeting feeling, but someone whose presence lingers even in silence. Someone who exists in the spaces between my words and in the warmth behind my tired smile.

It’s funny, isn’t it? How sometimes, love doesn’t start with a glance or a touch, it begins with something less tangible. Something that can’t be seen but can be felt.

We met online, in the way people do these days, through words, pixels, and the strange intimacy that comes from sharing parts of yourself with someone you can’t quite touch. At first, it was casual. Just messages back and forth, sharing thoughts about life, the universe, and everything in between. But there was something about her that kept drawing me in. It wasn’t her smile, though it’s beautiful. It wasn’t her voice, though it’s soft and warm, like something you want to hear when everything else is quiet. It wasn’t even her eyes, though they hold so many unspoken stories.

It was her energy...

There was this quiet radiance she carried with her through the screen, a calm strength that felt more like a presence than words. I could feel it in the way she spoke, in the rhythm of her messages, in the pauses between her thoughts. It was like she wasn’t just talking to me, she was sharing parts of herself, and somehow, I could hear it all. I didn’t fall for her smile first or the way she looked at me in our calls. I fell for the way she made me feel when we talked, even when there were miles between us.

I don’t know if everyone feels energy the same way, but for me, it was undeniable. She had this way of making distance seem irrelevant, of making our late night conversations feel like we were in the same room, despite being worlds apart. It was like the universe had wrapped her in a layer of peaceful radiance, and I could feel it through every word, every laugh, every shared silence.

And maybe that’s what love is, a connection to someone’s essence, long before the details fall into place. Maybe love doesn’t always start with the obvious things. Maybe it starts with the quiet stuff, the invisible thread that ties two people together without either one knowing exactly when it happened.

It’s strange, though. We’ve never met in person, and yet, I feel like I know her better than I know most people. Maybe it’s because we’ve shared so much of ourselves with each other, built something that’s deeper than physical proximity. Sure, it’s hard at times, the distance between us, the longing to be near, to hold her when things feel overwhelming. But we’re ready to face everything, every challenge, every moment apart, because we know what we have is real. It’s not just words or dreams, it’s the energy, the connection, the understanding that no distance could ever break.

So, before I even realized I was falling, I’d already given myself to her energy. And when I finally noticed her smile, it felt like the finishing touch, a confirmation of everything I already felt inside.Isn’t it strange how love can be a whisper, a soft pulse in the heart that you don’t recognize until it’s already there

Some souls don’t just meet by chance, they find each other across time, across distance, across everything, simply because they were always meant to...
