Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAg0oJ0KQOM1
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAkaVL2aHCcx
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAcWUrDmnXQv
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAieHkkCbhXk
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAFrF05qAaPl
"Well these are for you."
922Please respect copyright.PENANANqf1QmX4nQ
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAO1gp60di06
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAnwyXXZK1Q3
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAz05A7duj95
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
922Please respect copyright.PENANAnIkARd0Ral
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAntHpdhG2WG
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAcKesrj2lSz
Bald
922Please respect copyright.PENANAVzTfzmXOfh
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
922Please respect copyright.PENANACXl4lKOde3
But how could it be?
922Please respect copyright.PENANAROIRU30RhN
How could he have survived?
922Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ66yJCFql
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
922Please respect copyright.PENANASOYggINB2w
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAGxBEMAlS59
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAON2aH8DtAX
"You remembered," I heard him say.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Q2Zg7fcl
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
922Please respect copyright.PENANAI1BjIfxSYg
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAhPEiVaN2BX
"Don't cry Alice."
922Please respect copyright.PENANAC9SGdh4ON2
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
922Please respect copyright.PENANA2s1WGVi69S
"Thanks."
922Please respect copyright.PENANA0O9H0JKjKX
He shook his head as his smile widened.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAND3cxPc0zw
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
922Please respect copyright.PENANAJA7BIn2pZE
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
922Please respect copyright.PENANApUx5jQS6X8
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
922Please respect copyright.PENANACPMaui9I9i
I was just a boy
922Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Kp1sOUeN
Laying on his death bed.
922Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHdQSK1mC
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
922Please respect copyright.PENANASIEPUky00b
But then you came on that fateful day
922Please respect copyright.PENANAy90rHj63fe
And you changed my world for the better
922Please respect copyright.PENANAG6mveHDAIF
You gave me a reason to wake up
922Please respect copyright.PENANAMF2phOoTMO
And a reason to keep fighting.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ULBvgJaa
You don't know this,
922Please respect copyright.PENANAJCvdricjLF
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
922Please respect copyright.PENANASegAsR9i7H
And it broke my heart.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAtCaAkffuDM
Seeing you like that,
922Please respect copyright.PENANA0Djd0uP9gm
Was what helped me to get through this.
922Please respect copyright.PENANAZhlnjAxqet
Thank you Alice,
922Please respect copyright.PENANA8wlXoBg5L0
For coming to see me every day,
922Please respect copyright.PENANAGDe9D6pO7V
For smiling at me when no one did,
922Please respect copyright.PENANAAajnEmvsgm
For caring for me,
922Please respect copyright.PENANAt0SdcH4by5
Even though I was a stranger,
922Please respect copyright.PENANAQX6MjqrMpL
When no one did.
922Please respect copyright.PENANA3ht25stp4A
