Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevkk58dUoz
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQrCfOVAJK
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbmpBIHNv
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL0dUem3Cx
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGNyI2t1p
"Well these are for you."
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JhhCFNCWF
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjqNaiTxYo
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WlbzY4oxQ
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibBOoUZaE
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqSnbNowGo
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1lG5tSrc
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI059ImKMWM
Bald
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk1amidWkq
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO7F1b3TWI
But how could it be?
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUH1DUyoCY
How could he have survived?
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU66M4lcPD
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3fxZe3zN
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDbYB1Ozcy
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8FjDRRtLI
"You remembered," I heard him say.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnOtOGsFmH
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFKXLu2iV
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uv3lStH0X
"Don't cry Alice."
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjiXRRDGA
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D3R05mvsS
"Thanks."
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKGtj81NjX
He shook his head as his smile widened.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2yJfBf4gs
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwV7tJmeOo
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pb7EH5yBB
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ11qt1UbJG
I was just a boy
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecLqIDHMp6
Laying on his death bed.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKpSAKM6yd
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHZQrW8Ifo
But then you came on that fateful day
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzTS14EAVf
And you changed my world for the better
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfOz2wZdEl
You gave me a reason to wake up
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKcdllZpFh
And a reason to keep fighting.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXxAfmJ8qU
You don't know this,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWpNuyIHsY
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vWb4WdSjP
And it broke my heart.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KY54XovNZ
Seeing you like that,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMcL8cUFMT
Was what helped me to get through this.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0hClw4bkC
Thank you Alice,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXKLDVhu0
For coming to see me every day,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLDsaAVOH1
For smiling at me when no one did,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8RPrlvFU
For caring for me,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsp0DYxbju
Even though I was a stranger,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIllgivqKe
When no one did.
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9mJoTjvSY
But most of all,
1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fwC7ILam2
Thank you
For being my friend,1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWHwz9Urcm
