“When She Loved Me.”

A/N: Tryna empty out my drafts, I got around 70 drafts- So much writing, but not a lot of posting. So expect a couple of stories coming y’all’s way!

Might be typos!

Bold and Italics are singing!

Setting: Alexandria

Pairing: Daryl Dixon x GN!Reader

——————🫶🏽——————

Daryl and I were assigned to go off and search for supplies for Alexandria and that prick, Negan.

I hopped on the back of Daryl’s bike and he drove off to an abandoned part of town, with surprisingly, little to no walkers. Someone either cleaned this place out or they’re being held in one of these buildings.

Regardless of what happened to them it felt the world had shifted somewhat.

Normally it’s chaotic and loud, but here it’s quiet and calm. So quiet you can finally hear someone else think, with how silent it was.

I followed Daryl into one on of the buildings, his knife raised high, taking slow and care-filled steps. I followed his movements waiting for him to give the word that it was safe to explore and once he did, I immediately went to searching.

I looked around in one of the rooms didn’t find much, unless you consider dust bunnies and table scraps useful then by all means, have at it.

I continue to search the drawers, cabinet and cupboards. And found a couple cans of food that were still in date, the rest were already old before we got here.

Knowing that Daryl and I were going to spend the night and travel back to Alexandria as soon as the sun rose, I was quick to get comfortable and make up our beds, in the room that I had already searched.

As I was doing it, I was singing lowly to myself. It was a very calming thing for me. And it keeps me focused and kept me from going insane, at the start of all this.

I usually sing one song then move onto another, but sometimes, that first song will keep repeating cause it’s just so good.

‘When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful.’

‘Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart.’

“I didn’t know you sang.” Daryl stated, once I stopped to focus on putting together the bed rolls. I turn just in time to see him leaned up against a window, and light the end of a cigarette.

“You never asked.” I blurted out it trying to be funny, but Daryl huffed and turned away briefly.

“I do, I just can’t do it all that often with all the walkers, roaming the streets, and all. Don’t want to draw any unwanted attention.” I reply, and swiftly stand up once the beds were made.

I said, and we went back to dead silence, as he smoked and I put finished putting the beds together. So I decided to heat up, what we had brought with us.

I’d heat up what we found, but I’d rather save that for Alexandria even if it was just a couple cans.

I set up the little burner and I open and set the can on top of it before turning it on low heat.

“Keep singing.”

“I’m sorry what?” I ask, in genuine confusion.

“Y’heard me. Keep goin.’” Daryl repeated, taking a drag of the cigarette, before pulling it from in between his lips.

I shrugged and agreed, wordlessly. Considering it’s going to take time for the can of beans to cook, why not sing to pass the time?

‘And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears.’

‘And when she was happy, so was I, when she loved me.’

I continued to sing as I constantly stirred the can of beans as to make sure it wasn’t sticking to the can itself. Daryl watched my movements, like a member of an audience watching the opera.

‘Through the summer and the fall, had each other that was all.’

‘Just she and I together, like it was meant to be.’

In his eyes it was quite soothing, the way I was stirring my spoon around in the metal can. But doing it all while singing, it was beautiful.

Daryl has never seen or even thought about attending any sort of ballet performance ever. But with how slow my movements were, he could’ve sworn I was apart of the opera in my past life.

‘And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her.’

‘And I knew, the she loved me.’

I stopped singing as I turned the burner off and took an oven mitt and carefully poor out the beans into two separate bowls.

‘So the years went by and I stayed the same, but she began to drift away.’

‘I was left alone, still I waited for the day. When she’d say, “I will always love you.”’

‘Lonely and forgotten, never thought she’d look my way.’

‘And she smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do.’

‘Like she loved me, when she loved me.’

I smiled and called Daryl over and he didn’t come, so I looked up and motioned for him. He physically had to shake himself out of it, and burnt his finger with the cigarette.

“Shit!” He exclaimed dropping the cigarette to the floor and looked at his finger. He also made sure to stomped out the cigarette before I stood up.

“How bad is it?” I asked, and gently took his hand in my own and checked it out myself.

“‘Is fine. Just a burn, ain’t that big a deal.” He said, and I grabbed my water canister and took him to the sink. I held his hand over it and poured water on top of it.

“Ain’t gotta do that, I’m fine.” He said and I didn’t listen to him and continued to cool down the burn. He sighed and let me do my thing. “Hey, you didn’t finish the thing.”

“What thing? The song?” I asked and he let out a grunt in response. “I didn’t know you wanted me too, hold on.” I cleared my throat before singing the last part of the song.

‘When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful.’

‘Every hour spent together lives, within my heart.’

‘When she loved me.’

I'm cooking something, something to do with Solaris loving/caring about Elise, but the torture at the hands of the Duke causes Solaris to split into two, and they're full of hatred and pain. When Solaris is finally whole and healed, finally reunited with Elise, she blows out the flame.

[rrcenic]

in memory of neil perry on his. suicide day lol. i’m dropping my anderperry playlist 💪💪💪

im putting the songs, the artists, and some reasons/lyrics that put them on my list :)

just take my wallet by jack stauber

it’s singing to a loved one who is no longer there, implied that they took their own life

lyrics that give anderperry vibes:

“your mamas crying for you”

“good times are singing, they sang, they sang, those times are echoing through me”

“what’s the softest way to say you took away my friend, my buddy, what’s the kindest way to say the end”

hidden in the sand by tally hall

this song is a bit unsettling but sweet and sad. it’s about confusion and love

there are no lyrics that really scream anderperry, it’s just the vibes tbh

when she loved me by sarah mclachlan

yeah this was the toy story song. but it still. it’s just. aaaah

it’s a forlorn memory of a love that is gone

lyrics:

literally all of them are anderperry istg

this december by ricky montgomery

i’ve actually already made a post about this!! https://www.tumblr.com/rrcenic/735574508285689856/this-december-by-ricky-montgomery-is-the

talk to me by cavetown

this song holy shiiiit-

it’s kind of. it’s like asking someone you love that it’s okay to talk to you about their problems. saying it’s okay to not be perfect.

lyrics that scream anderperry:

“we can talk here on the floor, on the phone if you prefer, i’ll be here until you're okay”

“let your words release your pain, you and i will share the weight, growing stronger day by day”

“it’s so dark outside tonight, build a fire warm and bright, and the wind, it howls and bites”

“anxiety, tossing, turning in your sleep, even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams”

“it's so dark tonight, it looks nice, fall asleep, it's alright, come inside, and talk to me”

smoke signals by cavetown

i know i’m a freak, ripped the band-aid, broke the peace, took the lock but lost the key”

“guess i set you free, i hope you found a place to sleep, i know you're bound to think of me”

“you can come home to me when you're ready, i left the gate unlocked for you, til then i’m sending out smoke signals, hoping i’ll see yours too”

also, the ending is just repeating the line “i miss you” seven times as it fades out

the village by wrabel

this song is technically about the transmasc experience in a conservative area but i think some of the messages fit anderperry so well!!

learning from someone wiser that you don’t need to be ashamed of yourself, the hate you can get from your family for being queer, the fact that there is nothing wrong with you and your gender and your sexuality and your dreams, very dps coded

it also discusses the fact that oppression of young queer folks can often lead to suicide

lyrics:

no, your mom don't get it, and your dad don't get it, uncle john don't get it. and you can't tell grandma, cause her heart can't take it, and she might not make it. they say don’t dare, don’t you even go there”

“feel the rumors follow you from monday all the way to friday dinner, you’ve got one day of shelter then it's sunday hell to pay, you young lost sinner”

“well i’ve been there, sitting in that same chair, whispering that same prayer half a million times. it’s a lie though, buried in disciples, one page of the bible isn't worth a life”

these are just the first few songs that come to mind for anderperry, but i’m sure there’s more!! anyways rip neil you slayed 😔

Don't mind me just listening to "When She Loved Me" sung by Lyn Lapid, thinking about how this is probably what my past comfort characters would feel like if they were real, after I moved on from them and onto a new one. And how this is probably what my current comfort characters would probably feel like when I (most likely) move on from them. 😀

Im not crying! You are! 😭

a tribute to stickpage, from a girl who used it as a 7 or 8 year old, and still does but with a flash emulator.

"When some people loved me, Everything was wonderful, Every hour that they had spent here Lives within my heart, And when they were bored, They would turn to my website, And when they were happy, so was I... ...When they loved me..."

We'll never forget you, Adobe Flash and Stickpage!

When She Loved Me by Sarah McLaughlin Esperanto Lyrics

When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful Kiam iu amis min, ĉio estis bela Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart Ĉiu horo pasigita kune vivas en mia koro And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears Kiam ŝi estis malfelicia, Mi sekigis ŝiajn larmojn And when she was happy, so was I, when she loved me Kiam ŝi estis feliĉa, ankaŭ mi estis. Kiam ŝi amis min Through…
