Based on the song "Autumn Leaves" by Ed Sheeran. Let me know what you think. Should I continue this as a series of one shots based off songs?

Another day another life

Passes by just like mine

It's not complicated/ Another mind

Another soul

Another body to grow old

It's not complicated

Daryl wasn't fond of reflection, but here he was sitting on a porch reflecting. "Fuck," he thought to himself. It figures that the first time he would let himself fall in love with a girl she would get taken away from him. You're gonna miss me so bad when I'm gone Daryl Dixon. Beth. She was just gone.

And you're miles away

And yesterday you were here with me

As he sat on that porch with the rain falling down, he decided he didn't care if he was feeling sorry for himself. Nothing in his life ever worked out anyway. His mom died, his father was a sadistic asshole, and even his tough as nails brother was dead. When it was her and him alone in that funeral he had started feeling that foreign feeling of hope. They could stay there the two of them and they could be a family.

Another tear

Another cry

Another place for us to die

It's not complicated

He could kick himself now. All the mistakes he made. He had been too much of a pussy to tell her how he felt. You! You changed my mind Beth Greene. It was you. It would always be her. Even without her beside him, her light had seeped into his heart and refused to go out. If she was gone forever he knew he'd carry that light in his heart for the rest of his miserable life. He owed her that much at least.

Another life that's gone to waste

Another light lost from your face

It's complicated

For the majority of the time he had known her he had just dismissed her as being just a girl who needed protecting. Nothing special. I know you look at me and just see another dead girl. She had been right. Damn her for being so wise. He had been wrong. He may be older than her, but she was years ahead of him. Then she became so much more to him. Smart, brave (heck she stood up to his asshole drunken rant), strong, and beautiful…fuck she really was beautiful. His little song bird. He didn't want to hear anyone else sing again, if it wasn't her.

Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?

Float down

Like autumn leaves

Hush now

He closed his eyes trying to recall the sound of her voice while she was singing. It had soothed him. That night in the funeral home, no one had ever sang Daryl Dixon a lullaby. She was the first. The first woman he let into his heart. At the time he had been unable to understand exactly what was going on. What changed your mind? He had butterflies in his stomach. Dixon's don't get butterflies, but there he was heart hammering wanting so badly to have Beth Greene show him what it was all about.

Ooh how I miss you

My symphony played the song that carried you out

Ooh how I miss you

And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay

The rain continued to pelt down all around him, but he remained dry under the porch. Then he thought he saw a movement out in the trees. It was hard to tell in the storm, the rain was practically a curtain morphing the shapes around him. But Daryl Dixon was a hunter and he could tell the movement he detected was real. He squinted his eyes trying to get a better glimpse. It was a person, or more probably a walker. He raised his crossbow and crouched low. If it was a walker it would be an easy kill, if it was a person he probably had the one up because untrained eyes wouldn't be able to see through the rain or hear any footsteps.

As the body made it's way closer Daryl determined it wasn't a walker because it wasn't walking all zig-zaggy. It wasn't a man. Too small. A woman? He decided to call out to the figure taking a chance. "Don't take no more steps an' drop any weapons ya got!"

The person immediately stopped and seemed shocked to hear his voice. Then he heard the person's voice, it came out as a whisper, but to Daryl the words echoed loudly in his mind. "Daryl?"

Float down

Like autumn leaves

"Beth? Beth!" He ran out into the rain. There she stood, sopping wet, covered in scars and dirt, but she was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful and alive. Without a thought Daryl wrapped her up in a hug. It was the biggest hug Daryl had ever given in his whole entire life and she gave a hug that mirrored his. They stayed in that hug so long, but it didn't matter. Tears and rain streamed down both of their faces. His hand traveled to her cheek, perhaps to see if she was in fact real. And she was. "How? How are you here?"

"I had to get back to you Daryl." I'm not gonna leave you. With that he kissed her. She would show him the way after all.

Stay out and we'll live forever now
