Want or Need?

Many told me that they need me in their life (mostly exes) but eventually when the relationship ended they live like usual. So nah, it's obvious they don't need me cause if they do, they wouldn't discard me like how they did right? Human need their basic needs according to Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, which are food, water, air, warmth, love. But love can be from family, friends and your significant other. But to me, I don't think you really need anybody in your life. Cause personally, when you say you need someone, it's like you can't live without them and when this person cease to exist you'll die too. But, I don't think that's the case. 

To me, saying that you need someone is almost the same as pickup lines and mundane sweet talks. However, saying that you want someone in your life, that is different. Cause you made the choice to want this particular human to be in your life, to include this person in your every day routine and choices that you're gonna make. That is romantic, or at least to me. You can tell a million others that you need them in your life or probably can make it more cheesier than this, but honest to heart, would you really want them in your every day life for the rest of your life? 

So my point is, you don't really need a particular person in your life. But you can make the choice of who do you want in your life. And if I say I want you in my life, I am nowhere near kidding about it. Because I made that choice to want you, and I will do all I can to make you feel wanted and loved. At least, I think that's the best that I could do :)
