need to be needed

i was very confident.
i said that if it was only me that needed you and you didn't need me back, it was okay.
i said if i loved you and you didn't love me back, it was okay.
but
i know i need to be needed.
i need to be loved too.
because if you don't love me, where will i put my love?
am i still allowed to love you? to show my love to you?

i know you are often tired now.
i want to understand every single word you don't say and, therefore, be the same as you are to me.
