November Girl

My November girl is a special kind of girl. She says what's in her heart; she does not think and decide. She is trusting, she is loving, she is innocent, she is a child.

I warned her against being vulnerable, I said that you are not ready or willing to understand; but she would not listen. She is wilfully; headstrong. She is trusting. She had been put away for so long, she just wanted to come out and play and say what's on her mind.

She pestered me and pestered me, the way children do so, against my better judgement, I let her out to play. She become happy, animated; she couldn't contain her excitement, just like a child. I was happy for her, my beautiful, my special child.

But then came December, and cold wind blow from all directions. My child was naked, so she froze, caught a chill and died.

I grieve for my November baby; melancholy is in my heart.

The moral of the story is don't be too trusting; you are liable to die.
