Thats about as good as you can put it Crash. You have no control over someone elses emotions and thoughts. To play it safe is to never know the peak of happiness that true love can bring. Then again by the same token the complete agony it can inflict upon losing it. Depending on how you look at it is whether or not
you think its worth it or not. The way I look at it is..other times in life when I was the happiest dont match up in comparison to times I was happy with someone I truly loved. Bringing new life into the world and sharing things of that nature. No amount of booze or chemical induced happiness will ever fill that void. I couldnt imagine life without having experienced it now though, and even though things didnt pan out the way i had hoped. The experience and other blessings from that relationship were well worth the risk.
