How............. [I Write What I Feel]

How do you manage someone who craves both love and freedom?

How do you know when to hold them tight, and when to let them go?

How do you not fence them in, and yet leave them feeling like they have a home?

And what if they have a hard time voicing how they feel?

Is it possible?

Is there a way?

Patience and understanding are all I can come up with, and those are what I try.

The hardest part seems to be knowing whether they are of benefit or not.
