Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
::Erich Fromm

so one can say "I need you because I love you, and need you" ... you know, it's ok to need and be needy and be needed ... it's when you can't function without or when you're made to feel less than that this doesn't work ... neediness is strength when you can lean on someone and trust that they will walk hand in hand with you until you reach your goal ... that is being vulnerable to love ... and allowing them to lean on you and trust that they need you in a good way and that just being you is enough for them
