I want

I need a bed.
"Yep, you do. We'll get it one of these weekends."
I'm probably going to need a dresser too, really.
"Yeah, you'll definitely need one. We'll get it when we buy the bed."

You know what I need? That lamp attached to a nightstand that we saw.
"I'll see when I can pick it up, but I'm not making any promises."
Oooh! I need a mirror. A full-length mirror. We don't have a single one in the apartment.
"I...guess so."

I need a boyfriend. I /need/ someone of my own.
"You know I can't help you with that, right?"
I know. But I'm just saying, I /need/ a boyfriend.

Ohmylord I need a cat!
"I'm allergic, sorry. And I don't even like cats all that much anyway."
Okay fine.
Oooh, oooh, I need a golden retriever, please!
*sigh* "That would've been great, only we're not allowed pets in the apartment."

You know what I need? Flowers. Or a plant. I need to grow some kind of floral plant in my room.
"You do you, only I'm warning you now, I'm not going to remember to water it when you're out of town."

I want you to be happy.

Did you hear what I said? I just want you to be happy.

The next morning,
He quit his job,
Packed his bags,
Drove away to the beach.
