What Do You Call This?

What.is.this?

the red thing.

...

How long will it last?

Does it come with expiry date?

How do I know it has good quality?

Should I pay for it even if I am not yet sure?

Will it be in good shape even if I wash it using washing machine?

If only I would know it is worth the try.

Even if it doesn't look perfect,

or good as compared to others,

I liked it that way...

I gamble, so I paid.

I bought it..

In time,

this thing will be lost,

for sure.

because I am not a good keeper 

of stuff

like this small.

the red thing.

but

it will remind me how I felt 

that day and asked 

so many questions

but bought it anyway.

I may not end up owning it

for long

but...

I am lucky I had it for days 

I needed it the most.

thank you little red thing.

you add beauty to my hair.

one day, i will miss you.

then for years to come,

maybe,

i will no longer remember you.

xoxo
