True Simple Desire and Relief

I once met a four year old who couldn't sleep without watching Tom & Jerry cartoons
And it made me remember a time
when I believed in comfort

I believed there was a source of comfort

I knew there was respite

I wanted things

I demanded them and waited

And they were real ; I could get what I wanted

True simple desire and relief

Someone to talk to who will bounce back all my ideals
Question me when I am wrong
Accept it when I am not wanted

Someone to dribble the ball down the court with

And make shots.

It's a three-pointer or nothing?
What?
You don't even want to rebound?
