I have been wanting a new jacket for so long now. These sentences say the same thing. You will use the past perfect for a completed action. I had wanted to visit Spain for years and finally I got to go last year. I have written to her three times. That includes right now. I just wrote to her. This incident is on-going.

Does this make sense? I have written her. As of today, I have written her. Here is the textbook explanation of the present perfect and past perfect tenses.
The present perfect tense, which is sometimes called the perfect, indicates that the action is complete perfect at the time represented-- the time of speaking present. It is formed by the use of the auxiliary verb had past , to which the past participle of the main verb is added.
