this little girl only wants her picnic

You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather.

It keeps raining on my picnics lately. You know that feeling for disappointment when things don't work out they way they're supposed to?

Even when the weather promises you that it would be good the next day and reassures you that your picnic would turn out just fine.

"No worries," says the weather, "It'd be great. You'll have your sun tomorrow."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Then you wake up the next day, and it's a cloudy day out. Oh well, it's still early.. you only wanted to have the picnic in the evening anyway. Maybe the clouds would go away soon and you'll see the sun again. Besides, the weather promised, didn't he?

Then you wait.. and wait.. and wait.. pretty soon it starts raining. You're confused. But still, you wait. You have faith that the weather would keep his word.

Eventually, you gently remind the weather about your little deal with him.

The weather smacks his head and just goes, "I'm sorry, I forgot."

Forgot.. what did he mean by that? Did he forget about me?

"Something came up and it had to rain today. I'm sorry."

And he couldn't care enough to tell me first instead of me having to remind him?

To have so much faith.. that someone would keep his word.. even after all the other failed picnics.. was I right in doing so?

I must be just a little girl. Only little girls are able to have such unwiltering faith and belief in someone because they have not been as affected by people, by the world as those who have lived in it a longer time. They are naive and trustful.

So I'm just a little girl, making a wish to see the sun again after several days of rain. So that I can have my picnic and everyone would be happy.

In trusting someone's words even after he's forgotten several times before. Believing that maybe this one time, he'll remember.

It's hurtful, isn't it.
