What is love?
Love is patient. Love is not boastful. Love is kind. Love is not selfish. We define love based on how we experienced it.
For me, love is what you give without expecting anything in return. It is the feeling of happiness seeing the person you love. You still have the feeling of "giggle" when you see him. It's like only the two of you and no one is around when you look and talk to each other.
You Loved Me Because You Needed Me" or "You Needed Me Because You Loved Me
This is from the famous line from a Filipino movie. I know some can relate. For the readers, the title itself is dramatic and its true.
Disclaimer: It doesn't apply to me. I just want to make an article about this.
At first, I thought there was no difference between the two lines and that the words were just jumbled but there is.
"You Loved Me Because You Needed me"
Loving a person because you needed or wanted something in return.
For my own opinion, you are using the person in the first place. You may have an intention for loving the person but mainly for a reason. It may be fancy or real.
Fancy because you never love the person, you just needed him/her.
If you always ask for your partner in terms of material things like money, buying new clothes or shoes or other stuffs, you only needed the person though you are showing the person that you loved him/her.
It can also be because of your sexual needs. You're longing for the person because of your physical needs. It's lust.
What if that person can no longer give what you needed? Are you going to dump the person and find another one?
Also, you needed the person because you only want someone to talk to when you are down or even happy but deep inside, its only a friendly affection. It's not love. You are using the person to make someone believe it's love.
Today, there are many "May-December" affairs. Usually, the girl is young and the guy is old. There is a big age gap difference. Some says that the old guy is rich that is why someone fall in love with the man because of his wealth. But for some, they fall in love with the old guy because of its good heart aside from its wealth. But of course, there are people who will continue to judge you.
But for some, they learn to love the person in the end. They fall in love with the kindness of heart.
"You Needed Me Because You Love Me"
In this case, there is no other reason why you needed a person. It's mainly because you love him/her. You are missing a person because of love.
I am in a complicated relationship but I can say that because of the people who are against us, it made our relationship stronger up to now. I loved him because I needed him. Not just because he gives me what I want but because he knows what I want wihout asking. I appreciate it. But more than anything else, we fight for love. We keep proving to everyone that no matter what happens, we will stay stronger for our son and for our relationship.
There is no material thing that you want. You just want to be with that person. You cannot live without that person you love. It seems something is missing in your life. Whenever you fight, you feel unease because your life looks incomplete. Its as if you cannot live without that person. He/she is your life.
You needed the person because you think your relationship is forever. When you think you found the right person, don't let that person go.
They say there is "the one that got away". The person that is meamt for you but leave you or you left that person. He is the one you truly love or truly loves you but your relationship did not end well. You will just realized afterwards that the person you let go is the one you should be living forever with.
My Final Say
"You needed me because you loved me" or "you loved me because you needed me". Whatever options, it still means there is still the love but in different ways It may be bad or good.
We will find that true love. Someone who needs us Someone who love us.

It is true that most people stay in a relationship because they needed the other person to fill a gap, this could be a sexual gap, loneliness gap, etc. They needed that person to fill in the missing lines in their lives, and called it love
While others love someone selflessly, not because big what they want to get from the person
