You Told Me

You told me to listen to my heart

But it wasn't speaking 

You told me to wait

But soon I got impatient

You told me to feel

But I didn't know how to feel beyond my body

You told me to see through it

But it wasn't made of glass

You told me to read between the lines

But there was nothing there 

You told me to be careful

Does it mean I was too careless?

You told me I was blind

But still, I could see

You told me we don't have time to spare

But who were we

giving our time to?

You told me to stop being so closed

But I wasn't a door

You told me "don't cry"

Was I suppose to force myself to be happy

You told me to forgive and forget

But it's not easy 

You told me to love

But what is that?

You don't know what it is until you find it

Where is it?

Nobody knows 

You told me a lot of things

And I didn't really know what they meant

But I've grown now

You're gone and I wish you would tell me some more
