It all started with a scroll. An endless stream of photos on Instagram, punctuated by the occasional meme and food picture. Then, there she was. A burst of sunshine in a sea of filtered faces. Her smile was genuine, her eyes held a depth that captivated me instantly. It was a cliche, I know - love at first swipe. But in that moment, as I tapped the like button, a spark ignited within me.

The miles that separated us seemed to vanish into thin air. With a nervous click, I sent her a message. It was simple, a hello and a compliment on her captivating photo. To my surprise, she replied. We started texting, a digital bridge connecting two hearts across the vast distances. Hours melted into minutes as we shared stories, dreams, and silly jokes. There was a spark in her words, a wit that matched my own, and a kindness that warmed my soul.

One evening, I gathered the courage to call. The phone buzzed in my hand, each ring echoing with anticipation. Then, a hesitant "Hello?" filled the line. Her voice was even more melodic than I'd imagined, tinged with a touch of nervous energy. We talked for hours, time forgotten as we explored the depths of each other's worlds.

The next day came a text that sent a pang of worry through me. "Hey," it read, "I might have a slight problem..." My stomach clenched.  Attached was a picture of her ankle, swollen and bruised. My heart ached for her.

A video call followed. Her face, usually brimming with life, was etched with concern. But then, she offered a small, sad smile that melted my worries. "I fell down the stairs," she confessed, her voice a soft whisper. "It hurts a lot."

Seeing her vulnerability, the strength masked by a pout, ignited a fierce protectiveness within me.  Words failed me, so I just stared, a silent promise forming in my heart to be there for her, even if it was just through the screen.  She caught the unspoken sentiment, a blush creeping up her neck.  It was a moment of connection that transcended the physical distance.

Days turned into weeks, and our virtual bond deepened. We discovered a shared love for music. One evening, she confessed her favorite song was "Maheroo Maheroo" by shreya Ghoshal. Later that night, I found myself humming the melody, captivated by the melancholic beauty of the lyrics. When we next video called, I surprised her by softly singing the first verse.

Her eyes widened in surprise, then softened with a smile that could launch a thousand ships.  When I finished, there was a comfortable silence, filled only with the echoes of the song. "You have a beautiful voice," she finally whispered, her cheeks flushed.  In that moment, the miles between us felt like whispers in the wind.

There was a comfort in watching her sleep during our late-night video calls. The screen would capture snippets of serenity - the gentle rise and fall of her chest, a wisp of hair curling around her cheek. In her sleep, she was even more beautiful, devoid of any self-consciousness.  It was an intimacy that transcended the physical, a connection built on trust and shared vulnerability.

One night, a heavy silence hung between us. She confessed a fear, a sadness that seemed to dim her usual spark.  Words felt inadequate, but I ached to bridge the distance and hold her close. "Don't worry, honey," I finally said, my voice thick with emotion.  "All your pain will melt, just like your heart will melt when I hug you."

A tear glistened in her eye, then another, before they spilled freely down her cheeks.  My heart mirrored her pain, a shared ache for the touch we desperately craved.  But even from afar, I could feel the silent promise hanging in the air, a promise of a future where miles wouldn't matter, and our virtual connection would blossom into a love that could conquer any distance.

Our story is still being written, each message, each call, a brick laid in the foundation of our love. We may not be able to touch yet, but the connection we share is real, a testament to the power of human connection in a world shrunk by technology.  And with every message, every shared laugh, every stolen glance during a video call, my love for her deepens. It's a love that transcends the physical, a love built on shared dreams and a deep longing to bridge the miles that separate us.
It's all about you, my AngrybBird! 😘
