needs and wants are 2 very different things. i know my needs and wants very clear. of all the flowers in the garden, i want the one in navy blue. of all the fish in the sea, i want the one swimming away from me. and i know my needs. for when unmet, i find my lungs shrink as i grasp for the air that carries your smell. because i can live with you not loving me back, but i cannot live without you. i know my needs and wants very clear. and it is you.

needs vs wants
needs and wants are 2 very different things. i know my needs and wants very clear. of all the flowers in the garden, i want the one in navy blue. of all the fish in the sea, i want the one swimming away from me. and i know my needs. for when unmet, i find my lungs shrink as i grasp for the air that carries your smell. because i can live with you not loving me back, but i cannot live without you. i know my needs and wants very clear. and it is you.
