Want vs Need

i wanted it to be you

i needed to let you go

i wanted you to choose me

i needed to choose myself

i wanted it to last forever

i needed it to end

i wanted you to love me

i needed to love myself

i wanted it to be a fairytale

i needed a reality check

i wanted you to make me smile

i needed my smile to come from me

i wanted it to put me back together

i needed to do it myself

i wanted you to see me how i see you

i wanted it to be real

but all it was,

was in my head
