The phrase “i love you more than need you” appears to be a twist on the lyrics from the song “Wichita Lineman” by Jimmy Webb, famously performed by Glen Campbell, which contains the line, “And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time”. The original lyric suggests that love and need are intertwined, with a profound dependence being the strongest emotion.
I was reminded of this song today after my wife, Barbara, has been retained in the hospital over what will be a second night. It all started when she cut a finger and we went to the emergency room for a bandage. The doctor found her oxygen level was low and the decided to keep her for the night that has led to a second night.
Being lonely I miss her more than I could imagine.
Hold your family members close.
