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
But most of all,
922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Wr1zypJE
Thank you
For being my friend,922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPqgwAJliB
