A person who wants you...
Only gives you attention when it's convenient. If this person is in the mood to see and to interact with you, if this person wants or needs that interaction, then this person will give you attention. Otherwise, if this person isn't in the mood to talk to you, to help you, to spend time with you, to be there for you, he or she will simply be unavailable - until, of course, it's convenient to be there.
A person who needs you...
Is there for you because being there for you is something this person do. This person needs to keep you safe and happy. This person needs you to enjoy life so that he or she, in turn, can enjoy life.Regardless of whether it's convenient or not, this person will be there for you. This person will do anything to avoid losing you, even if it means sucking it up from time to time and doing the little things he or she isn't especially excited to do.
