Some say 'need' is a strong word, compared to 'want'

But you see people don't understand what I feel towards her.
No one knows the butterflies in my stomach when I talk to her.

I'm a coward.

I'm scared I'll push her away, or let her go.
So I don't tell her how I feel, so no one knows.

There's only so many words to express this love. But I know deep down I don't 'want' her, which is terrifying.

Because I then realise I 'need' her
