Can you love someone deeply without needing them?

I don't think so. Even a parent that deeply loves their child wants and needs their love and appreciation returned. I have answered questions before about what I want from a partner and the list is: love, affection, caring, kindness, , etc. And I'll look at other answers and they'll be like "I don't need anything from anyone." Why have someone in your life that you just give to and never receive anything back from?
