want vs need

i wanted it to be you
i needed to let you go

i wanted you to choose me 
i needed to choose myself

i wanted it to last forever
i needed it to end

i wanted you to love me
i needed to love myself

i wanted it to be a fairytale
i needed a reality check

i wanted you to make me smile
i needed my smile to come from me

i wanted it to put me back together
i needed to do it myself

i wanted you to see me how i see you
i wanted it to be real

but all it was,
was in my head
