I don't need you, but I really want you

My desires in a relationship have changed over time.

I no longer want someone who promises to always love me and never leave me, I need someone who understands that life happens and sometimes things don't work out.

I don't want someone who sugar coats things and never gets angry with me, I need someone to tell me how it really is and put me in my place.

I need to be able to go five hours without talking to you and not feel lost or incomplete. I am complete without you.

But with you, I want to be so much better. I want to be stronger with you. I want us to grow together and help each other grow individually.

I don't need you, but I really want you.

And this may not work out, but the fact that you understand all of this and this is how our relationship works, makes me think we've got a pretty good shot.
