This is on the motivation by onee's Dialogue Challenge: Meet A Stranger:

I was as usual alone sitting on the bench in a garden under on big oak tree. I was as usual in my gloom mood, as was missing something. 

Me: What is that I am missing? 

There was no answer, but the quietness imbibed by my oneself, there were other people, too.

Me: Have I done something wrong? Have I hurt someone? Have I broken someone’s, heart? 

Voice, (she): What are you thinking MI? Why are you sad, when you have done what you wished?

Me: Who are you, why do you not come before me? 

She: I am the one whom you left, and did not care my love. 

Me: Oh! So, I am a very bad guy, I really have broken heart.

She: No, when you broke the relationship, neither I weep nor you cried.

Me: But since then I could not have a peaceful sleep.

She: Me neither.

Me: Was I that bad? 

She: No, you was a good companion, but you were never with me.  It was like I was in the cool shade, but at the same time, there was the scorching sun. We were together but there was no togetherness.

Me: But! 

She: Do not stop me, let me speak.  Maybe you have some differences, maybe you think differently, maybe you do not consider me as your companion, or a lover, but O the one who left, you were not dishonest, in your feelings. 

Me: What did you do after we separated?  Did you find someone other, was there other love?

She:  How can other dwell in the eyes, in the heart in which my beloved live. When we parted, there were songs on my lips, the song which I never sang for anyone but you. 

Me:  Listen, I never meant to hurt you, I was just like that, maybe it was my lack of confidence, of course not in you, but in myself.  Are you listening to me? 

Voice: No, you were a good companion, but you were never with me.  It was like I was in the cool shade, but at the same time, there was the scorching sun. We were together but there was no togetherness.

There was and echoing song seemed to be coming near or going farther and farther. 

Me:  Please wait, don’t go away, please tell me are you a “reality” or just my imagination, or subconscious, or the call of my conscience for anything wrong done by me!

There was no voice, I was repeating repeatedly my desire to have her wait for me.

Me: Please let me know, please tell me is this reality or………………………….

Someone: “Sir, Sir, what happened?  Are you all right?  You seem to be in a ‘fit’ talking to yourself!” 

Someone dragged me off my dream. 

Me: Perhaps I was sleeping! 

I said to myself rather to someone.

Me: Oh! So that was not realit………………

I stopped abruptly when I saw a single rose in my hand.  But there was nobody around!
