"Desire is a connection of being to lack. This lack is the absence of being legitimately. It isn't the absence of either, however absence of being whereby the being exists.
"This lack is past anything which can speak to it. It is just at any point spoke to as a reflection on a cover" (Seminar II, p.223).
This is a thought that we likewise discover Lacan progressing in the Ecrits. In The Direction of the Treatment Lacan twice says a similar thing, inside the space of a couple of pages: that desire is the metonymy of the need to-be, and the sense of self is the metonymy of want (Ecrits, 623 and 640).
To summarize what this may mean: from a major ordeal of a lack in the Other we distinguish for ourselves a need in our own being, which comes to constitute our craving; and our capacity to frame a self image (an 'I') just comes when this is conceivable. On the off chance that craving has no home all things considered, it can just support itself in a need to-be.
