It's a reflexive pronoun and it is necessary sometimes. I know this because we use them in Spanish.

Ik verlang naar een maaltijd. Wishing for is "wensen" but also "verlangen naar". Can someone explain please?

In this sentence, why is there no preposition after "wish".. like Ik wens voor een maaltijd?

In answer to the original question you are giving the same answer as that for which I was marked wrong for not including 'me' !! WHY ???
