I want you. Want is a selfish word
that makes people obstacles.

I would never say
I need you. Need is dependency
that makes people as essential
as the air they breathe.

I would never say
I love you. I know I’m not capable of
something that goes beyond need and want.

I would say
you’re in my head. That makes you
a thought; a thought that has no need or want
thoughts are friends that ask nothing
