What is the biggest mistake you've made in a relationship?

The biggest mistake? Believing it'd be forever. Oh, my mom warned me enough times but I wouldn't listen. I loved her - heart and soul. I used to paint her pictures - write her poetry - pick her flowers from other people's back yards... But it wasn't enough - I wasn't enough. There were so many other things she wanted - like a pony, a big swimming pool - and be the center of everybody's attention. But I guess that's what a lot of nine year olds want. And in the end, she broke my 10 year old heart.

Some twenty years later I made the same mistake - except by then I had more of a conscience about stealing folk's flowers…

But right now the biggest mistake I could make would be to take what I've got for granted. And watching him sleep - as I'm doing this minute as I write about this, I know I won't let that happen. What we've got is just way too good to risk losing.
