To need or to want
Do not debate me
I said I needed you
You said you should be wanted
To need someone
Is to inherently want her
To want someone
Does not mean you need him
I need air to breathe
I need water to drink
I need what makes me live
I wanted what I needed
You wanted a new home
You wanted a new cause
You wanted a new persona
You wanted what you did not need
When you lectured me
Saying you shouldn’t be needed
But that you should be wanted
I knew I no longer needed you
Now
Answer me this
Do you still need what you want?
Or have you realized you want what you need?
