As I lay me down to rest

It's the story of us.
You with your wishing well optimism,
me with my dime store hopes,
making our way through the land of make-believe
until we found ourselves in other peoples hearts.
"It's simple math," you said to me once
when I was just a voice in your head.
"And if you close your eyes you can see forever"
but I haven't slept since then.
I would be remiss to forget
how it was I who forbade our moving forward
Just as it would serve you
to remember your role in letting me forget.
I make this promise before I lay my self to rest
"I shall hold up my end of the deal
If you promise to take notice."
So it goes for years to come
Neither of us sleeping soundly
without the other one.

That was beautifully done.

Enjoyed the wording immensly.
