Dedicated to the wonderful folks at TWD/Caryl fans, Carolution and the always wonderful Caryl fans on STD. Couldn't do this without you! Special shout out to the always amazing Sanja! You are a treasure love, never forget that.
Love was a joke, nothing more than a four letter word used to get what you wanted from someone.
Love was a fist to the face, a punch in the gut, a slap or a belt across the back.
Love was a garbage strewn house, a box of cheap wine, and Patsy Cline singing about heartbreak and staying with your man.
Love was for after school specials and romantic comedies where everyone's life was perfect, yet they still complained.
Love was a leash to rein you in, to force you to do something.
Love was a fucking excuse for every rotten thing that the other person did to you and because of the magic use of the word "Love" it was all of a sudden ok.
Love was for pussies and romance novels.
Yeah, love WAS a joke until he met her…
Love is strength to stand up and fight for someone, even against their family.
Love is reminding you that you are as good if not better than everyone else.
Love is not letting you pull away, not letting you run and hide.
Love is calling you on your bull shit.
Love makes you want to be better, for her.
Love is sweet smiles, soft touches, silver crowns and blue eyes that pull you in and hold you safe.
Love is giving everything to another.
Love is being brave enough to take a chance that the rejection you fear won't happen.
Love is the sound of her heart beat while you lay your head against her breast.
Love is patient and understanding.
Love is her breath against your neck as she sleeps in your arms.
Love knows that no matter what you'll be there for each other.
Love is hope and joy.
The world may have gone to shit, but with love they will survive it.
