Does love force or encourages?

When I went through crushes, 
I said it hurts, that it is hurtful; *It forces*,
When I went through lovers, 
I said that it is tiring and messy but somehow lovely, 
When I went through marriage, 
I said that it is endless and indeed beautiful, 
When I went through divorce, 
I said is..what have done is bad. *That it forces.*
That it is pushed, that it is needed when necessary but not good,
For my kids growing up and my family, 
which will grow apart.

Just when we stand in two different Lifes, 
we approach and think about love differently.

Don't get happy too soon after a break up, 
After a divorce, 
because you are not 14 again.
18 again.
24 again.
32 again.
You will never get to be that age again.
Love is not disappearing or less needed after you crossed a certain age, 
But tell me, 
Why do your siblings tell you to stay with him? 
Because in the past, you have already married before you told your parenrs about him, 
you have run away once, 
now where are you going?
You have kids ahead, 
you will turn 55, 
You have already chosen to be in a diffefent World, your husband is from spain and you arw white.
You risked the language barrier, 
now the connection barrier.

Why are you happy for waiting for somebody asking how you been doing, 
While someone knew you by heart?
