Trying To Control Love

Each place and each person evoke feelings that while the same, in that we call them both love, the concern remains lest they not be able to bond one to another and in the process the love may be damaged.  I know I can be too protective and that in truth love may not need my concern and attempts to control.  It can flourish on its own.  I know too that love and fear are not the same.  But, that is only the knowing.
