I Told You So.

Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed,
Sulking in my room because this all could have been prevented.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.

I was as a firefly attracted to the beautiful light, obliviously headed for destruction.
Offended by your allegedly needless concern, I hurled your instructions aside. Now I sit,
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed.

Sorrowfully observing from the sidelines was all you could do as the light zapped me,
But catching me as I fell was the move that saved my life.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.

Spending my nights staining your shirt with tears, tears that should not have been shed.
Even though upset that I did not listen, you were there to comfort me. That is why I sat,
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed.

Telling me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted, because you love me,
Being there for me even though I did not deserve it, lead me to love you.
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.

At any time, you could have mocked me saying, “I told you so”
Instead, you took me under your wing, and said, “I love you so”.
Clinging to the words that I know I should have obeyed,
Still you will stay with me, and this time I will listen.
