N&D, not trying to be glib either. Words matter, and you never said how loved you feel, just the need. If you want more, you deserve more.
If it helps you -imo
need implies that the other party will flounder without you. The only people who "need" in my life are my small children. Love is a feeling of admiration & mutual respect that I feel for my family, and the romantic love that I have for my husband includes the preceding as well as physical attraction. Hope that helps, words usually fail miserably to describe emotional stuff....
