Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1nwrg0VC1
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx45uXuLQ9
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBQaYSo3OK
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscmWV88dpv
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPtiy79QMK
"Well these are for you."
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeizp4g7LDX
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFmU54A3mg
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClhzPO7IW0
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkib5tovLM
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NYE9xdP1q
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdssQyPNUd
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbYhq7mTbh
Bald
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2LMTv8ZfA
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCzOyZzJc9
But how could it be?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33vzcI0fV1
How could he have survived?
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFbtFfR25g
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEQ0JiujY
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8uDgP3uld
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZtCMglH9r
"You remembered," I heard him say.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaXeXdOH1B
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegPhGOS9VG
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorICDd6uWF
"Don't cry Alice."
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1t1e3YOpe
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZal27DHmJ
"Thanks."
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDJmaCQgz5
He shook his head as his smile widened.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxIutitfr
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQ3uQaK7h
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6w1xnNxy
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOHrHVhe11
I was just a boy
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7x8ilVXLr
Laying on his death bed.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNB92ystiP
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7zCtV7g6Y
But then you came on that fateful day
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7eujk6FE8
And you changed my world for the better
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHg8XoSLUT
You gave me a reason to wake up
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8yhjsO3Fg
And a reason to keep fighting.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTz4Uqf1Ck
You don't know this,
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczk6H8OMYZ
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFxpsnMPEx
And it broke my heart.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjzl7Dw4k6
Seeing you like that,
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPRThyDiF
Was what helped me to get through this.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBRQNqsOOU

For smiling at me when no one did,

998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKketEeD4g
When no one did.
998Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA42VfFjIXf
