When I leave,
I tip-toe out quietly
So that you won’t miss me
till I’m too far away
for you to remember what you’re looking for
And also so you’ll never realise
that I started walking
long before you stopped talking.
Call me ruthless
Call me sensitive
Call me an escapist…or a realist.
The only thing I leave behind is a question mark.

I’ve read this 4 times since the last 10 mins when i saw it.That’s all i’d say.That’s all i need to say.
And even though the question may not know its answer, the answer would always know its question….maybe it’s just a matter of time.Afterall, there has to be something after the question mark, before the full stop comes along.
