I AM A MASTER WHO DOES NOT ASK YOU FOR ANY SURRENDER, ANY COMMITMENT; who does not ask anything from you, but who gives you as much as he can and is grateful that you receive his love, is grateful that you receive his silence. 

And it is absolutely your individual decision to remain my fellow traveler or to move in some other direction. 

And who knows, PERHAPS YOU MAY COME BACK TO THE CARAVAN AGAIN, or you may meet me somewhere ahead on some other crossroad. You will be welcome there. 

I ACCEPT YOU WHEN YOU ARE WITH ME, I ACCEPT YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE ME; I accept you if you never come back to me. I accept you if you want to come back to me....

I AM JUST A FRIEND. We have met on the road; we are strangers. You liked me to walk with you, I liked you to walk with me, we enjoyed being together. 

But any moment you want to say, "Now it is time to depart," I will help you to depart without tears, joyously -- because you are going to be independent, yourself.
