If you love something,
smother and nag it to death;
neither nurture it
and encourage it to blossom
into it's natural potential
nor simply allow it to be-
to follow it's dharma.

Do not by any means
welcome it on neutral ground:
look down on it
and control it-
condescend it,
push it away
make it want to leave
if you wish to show that you really care.
