Dialogue From "Bloom Into You" (By Nakatani Nio) Volume 1 That Really Spoke to Me;
The Words in shoujo manga and love songs...
They're always sparkling brightly.
I don't need a dictionary to understand the meaning...
But I've never felt them for myself.
The love they talk about in books and songs is always sparkling...
I'd always longed for it myself.
I wanted to feel like I'd sprouted wings, like I was floating in the air...
I had high hopes.
And yet....
My feet were still planted firmly on the ground.
It's alright.
I'm sure...
My wings are just growing a little slower than other people's.
But soon....
Any moment now...
My wings will soar.
(I added the last line myself, because the dialogue ended at "any moment now;" and it didn't feel complete.)
