Oh, good, I don't have to talk about that version any more. Which is for the better... I don't know why a fourteen-year-old is reading Oscar Wilde, anyway.
She's telling it to someone else, a good friend of hers. And when she steps back from it... she compares her friend to the Happy Prince. Giving everything of herself, to the point of being self-destructive. And her friend just kind of... laughs, and tells her that that would make her the swallow.
And then her friend turns into a magical girl in front of her when it's supposed to be a big secret, and almost gets herself killed, and past-me shouts at the top of her lungs, "Let me be your swallow!" And she has to know what fate she's s-signing herself up for, and she does it anyway, and she doesn't even care.
That's where my powers come from. A girl that... is so devoted to someone that she is willing to put herself in harm's way for that person. To die for that person, if it came to that. And it scares me, a little.
