need

upon reflection, i need to have people love me. to have them demonstrate their love for me. i am the type of bean to throw gloves over the balcony into the lion pit and expect another bean to climb down, risking life and limb, to retrieve them. (not that i wear gloves, because i don't; i find them a little... outré.)

and the need to have les preuves d'amour is greater than my need to give them. i'd be quite content to be surrounded by love, and not have to return it.

shower me with love, but don't ask me to give you anything back.

yes. that is kind of bean i am.
