learnt about a thing
called probability in math
would be a most difficult word
if I were in kindergarten
I am past those years
but math still is not my favourite
well atleast I understood this concept
so I thought within myself
what is the probability
that I get a green m&m
for they are my favourite
one in a dozen?
who knew?
I didn't care
picked up one
and it was a green one!
well, just a fluke
when I was with my friend
I was sure it was going to be a red one
but it turned out to be
a green one!
her favourite was blue though
nothing special there
what was it with the green ones?
was I on some kind of jinx?
and then when I was with my guy
it came out as a green
again-
he favoured green
and got it too
I knew
there was something going on
this was a sign
little did I know
it would change my life
forever
whenever I got the chance,
m&ms were my choice of snack
my guy asked me for one
I kept refusing
shouldn't have
in his anger, he dashed across
and was killed
instantly-
till this day, I regret
one small mistake
which cost someone's life
the m&ms for him
were a reassurance
that I still cared
whenever I visit his grave,
an m&m is what I put
a green one
to remind him that I was always there
and I am really sorry
I am a fool
but atleast I can have his forgiveness
