Sometimes, what we need in life is someone who will be there for us. Someone who would care for us in times when we need a shoulder to cry on. For Taiga, it was Ryuuji.
11 Even when the sky’s so dark you can’t see a thing, there are still stars shining out there. -Minori
Just because you cannot see something, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. The same is with love. Just because you cannot see love doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. You just have to feel it and let it come to light in its own time.
