Love may come at any age or stage. When it does let wisdom and prudence guide you. But say yes. I talked to a woman yesterday who is married and she said she and her husband play "what if". What if we broke up, what if we got divorced, what if I died, what if you died. She tells her husband if she ever found herself alone again she wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Meaning marriage. I don't feel that way. My marriage was not a mistake. And I hope to someday say yes to marriage again.
So I say yes now to love when it comes knocking. Although it's not without hurts and pains it's also full of joy and elation and fulfillment and desire. I could avoid the hurt if I kept the door tightly closed. Locked up my heart and gave the key to no one. That would be the safe choice, albeit miserable. So I wait and watch in anticipation of the knock at the door.
I say yes.
