No matter what happened, no matter what was going through his mind at that moment when Daryl saw you he had nothing else on his mind,even tho you two were just friends.

you were the only one who made him change his mind on things,you were the one he would listen to without any doubt,maybe it was the way you acted.

he needed you,he loved the way you smiled,how you were always so happy and positive, it made him want to protect you.

he wasn't the type of guy to stay positive, he never was,he was always grumpy but you made him want to live again.

now you were messing around with him,saying that he probably didn't even love you,just to get a rise out of him,like always.

"turst me I've got nothing for you other than love"

he says with a little smirk,it was the first time he ever been this forward.
