Delicate

As I'm waiting at the airport I start feeling nervous, I haven't seen you in over two years.

I keep checking the time and watching the passing strangers to see if I could see your beautiful face.

Almost two hours of trying to find you like a crossword puzzle you come out with a disabled chair, at first I didn't recognise you because of the mask and my mum said "There she is" and I question if that really is you.

You changed so much I couldn't even tell it was you.  You looked so fragile and like a porcelain doll I was scared to hug you. 

My eyes started welling up and I couldn't express all the feelings I was throwing from within in that current moment.

I missed you so much and as soon as I hugged you and smelt you, I felt my heart stop for just a second and relax.

I finally had the person I have been missing the most and she had grown older without me even beside her.

You became much more delicate and just like before I can never take you for granted.

You raised me up in the best way you could and now it's my turn to be the woman you taught me to be, to help you whenever I can and to be your support forever....
