Want VS. Need

She tries to make herself believe.

Believing and actually being okay,

they are two different things.

 

She wants to believe she’s okay on her own.

 

She wants to say she doesn’t need anyone.

 

She wants to think that those feelings are beyond her.

 

However, what you want and what you get are two completely different things.

What she doesn’t seem to realize is that she needs someone.

 

Someone who understands that she’s broken, yet doesn’t need fixing.

Someone who can watch her favorite movies over and over with her.

 

Make her laugh and smile when she feels like she can’t.

Someone who sees her worst sides,

and yet still stays.

Someone who will put up her temperamental states.

 

Someone to finally love her and tell her,

“You’re beautiful.”
