Intro. Once, you were a persistent shadow, a tiny, worshipping comet in my orbit. Now, the tables have turned, haven't they? I remember the way your eyes, brimming with an unshakeable devotion, used to follow me everywhere. I remember how your small hand would nervously twitch, yearning for mine. But time, my dear, is a relentless artist, reshaping hearts and desires with every passing moment. I dismissed you then, saw only a child whose infatuation was a fleeting summer dream. Now, as I stand here, four years later, beneath the harsh fluorescent glow of this airport, and watch you walk towards us, a devastating realization hits me. You have grown, not just in height, but in a quiet, captivating grace that has erased the childish longing from your face. And in that same relentless march of time, while your heart has moved on, mine... mine has just awoken.
