'Enough' He screamed. 'I don't want to hear anything more. I beg you....' He continued slapping his hands together 'Please let me live in peace. I have only wanted that always in life.' Saying this he made a hasty exit from the room slamming the door with a thud.

She continued standing there in a daze for a while before collapsing on the floor. Slowly tears started flowing out of her eyes. 'Enough' His words echoed in her ears. This was what their relationship had been reduced to off-late. Petty fights, arguments and allegations had replaced sweet nothing, romantic whispers and naughty glances.

The more she tried to change herself for him the more inadequate it seemed to him. You have changed - She heard this very frequently - sometimes from him and sometimes from her own conscious. She had come so far in this that today when she stood in front of a mirror she could hear her own reflection telling her this. 'Where is it all leading to.....' she wondered. ' I am not what he wants, I am not what I want either, then Who am I?'

I am ~
A dream that could remain incomplete to complete you,
A star that could fall to make your wish come true,
A tear of happiness that wants to roll out of your eyes,
A cloud that wants to drench in the rain of your love,
A shadow which won’t leave you even in darkness,
A book that wants to fill its pages with you,
A gust of wind that wants to take you along for a flight,

I am all that which maybe is not your imagination;

Then Who am I?

'Enough' she thought to herself. She hurriedly wiped her tears and got up to leave. She concluded she needed to find some answers. Not for anyone else but herself. She could not continue leading this life. She left this letter for him and walked out of that room and his life forever giving him what he asked for "Peace in Life".
