"All of Me" by John Legend on Love in the Future
"What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright"
Daryl woke up to sun shining through the boarded up windows of the abandoned house they were staying in. He felt the warmth of Beth against his chest and sighed heavily knowing she was still in his arms. He loved everything about her; her spirit, her hope, her smart mouth, her eyes, her perfect body… everything. He just didn't know how to say it to her.
He ran his fingers along her arm thinking about how she drew him close to her to comfort both herself and him. He needed her and she was always willing to help him, except for when he was being an ornery old redneck. Then she'd put him in his place. He chuckled to himself remerging when she called bullshit on him at the moonshine cabin. That was the day that he realized that he needed her more than he needed air to breath.
Just thinking about her made his thoughts all fuzzy. She had his thoughts spinning out of control with one smile and he loved it. Oh, how he would like to know what she was thinking, choosing him, a low-life good-for-nothing redneck. Being in love with Beth Greene was like riding the craziest roller coast in the world with a blind fold on. She had him reeling, but he knew that she would always catch him.
"My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind"
Daryl nuzzles her crazy hair and he drowns in her heavenly sent. She's crazy for wanting him and he's out of his mind for giving into his love.
"Good morning," Beth said, her voice still laced with sleep. He smiled and kissed along her neck and behind her ear. She shivered and ran her fingers along the arm that was still holding her in place against his muscular chest.
"'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh"
"Beth…. I've been meaning to tell you something," Daryl says hiding in her hair waiting for her to respond.
"And what would that be Mr. Dixon?" she asks playfully.
"Beth…. I love everything about you…. All your perfect imperfections….. I love you, and I'll give you my all if you give me yours," he stumbled over his confession still hiding in Beth's unruly hair. By the end of his confession, her eyes were watering. She slowly turned her body in his arms so she could look him in the eye.
"Daryl Dixon, you're my end and my beginning," she said cupping his face and smiling sweetly. "This world we live in now is horrible and it seems like we're always loosing someone or something, but with you, I'm always winning. Daryl, I will give you all of me for the rest of my life. I love you Daryl Dixon!" when she finished, she leaned forwards and kissed him showing him without words how much she really did love him.
"How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you"
Daryl ran his fingers through her hair while his other hand pulled her closer to him. She lifted her chin to deepen the kiss. He ran his tongue along the seam of her lips and was granted access to her mouth. Their tongues danced until Beth pulled away leaning her forehead on his breathing hard. He was speechless at her beauty. Even when she cries she's gorgeous he thinks to himself. She is the strongest person he knows. Even with the world beating down on her with every turn, she still remains hopeful and he can't get enough of her.
"Beth, I would give my life for you," Daryl says pulling her tighter to him. He knew she would be his downfall and he was perfectly fine with it. He would gladly lay down his life to protect her.
"You are my muse, Daryl. You're the reason I singing all the time," she says smiling at his and kissing his cheek. He knew they should get their day started, but she was so enticing. She was his worst distraction. He couldn't help himself; she was like a song stuck in his head all the time.
"I give you all of me, And you give me all of you"
