Today is Carl's funeral... I cant believe he actually got bit. He's not dead yet but he is going to turn soon. "(Y/n)....."

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

"....yea Carl....?"

"Don't be sad. For me. I don't want to see you like this. I want to die seeing your pretty face smiling at me."

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,

I began to cry a bit but gave him a small smile. Just like he wanted. "T-that's better but not perfect. It hurts me more knowing that I'm the cause of those years on your face."

"I just wish you didnt have to go and get a walker bite! You could have been safe with me! Judith.... You wouldn't be dieing...."

And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

I cried uncontrollably and got pulled with Carl. I couldn't help but just hug him tight. Soon this will all be over. I'll never be able to hold him lile this again. He'll be gone! Taken away from me! "(Y/n). I had to help him. You know I did.... I had to do what my mom said. I have to keep doing whats right. It might not be the easiest thing to do but I did. It was even harder not telling you what happened but the right thing was not to make you upset about this. Especially not in the situation we were in."

The sharp knife of a short life
I've had just enough time

"I just dont want to lose you...? But.... I am Carl. I'm.going to lose you forever... I just wish we had more time..." I sobed holding him closer and a bit tighter.

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

"I know. I know. I hope you never forget me. I love you (Y/n). Find happiness again. I know you can. Be happy." I felt his heart beat get slower and slower.

The sharp knife of a short life
I've had just enough time

"Please don't go yet Carl. I still need you. I need you to be here for me. Judith needs to grow up with her big brother. Rick needs his son. I need the love of my life Carl."

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a woman
But it sure felt nice whens she was holdin' my hand,
There's a girl here in town, says she'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
