Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Qpfvi545
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEdTUovXXn
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYDmOctU0f
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGGr1ZjCQ
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLh5h3TvKJ
"Well these are for you."
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9KansbyC
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4iotyrHce
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibst4qXPjA
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnC2m0ppM
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN7SEpATBi
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfKopRkUy5
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNzcYEJ5NE
Bald
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPKTB86NwW
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5pVKP1c6F
But how could it be?
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH88QXynLsp
How could he have survived?
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNkmwrA3oP
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodn0kQWEGC
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkIahDErcg
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BXvQQNkYG
"You remembered," I heard him say.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV1qtrYJ3E
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1XgJNgZcK
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbnJMhuBj
"Don't cry Alice."
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRsBtLDA26
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeYo5diEGj
"Thanks."
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUwPGXRwiG
He shook his head as his smile widened.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLSmSspMxg
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcbw6BhD1r
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwAQ8WWwGT
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ68uKKgWb
I was just a boy
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRULK16Wmd
Laying on his death bed.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuCKjYDXCQ
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzMzggJnf0
But then you came on that fateful day
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BgaOi6epr
And you changed my world for the better
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJwrun5nBb
You gave me a reason to wake up
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOjPkujabY
And a reason to keep fighting.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkr51qRU9X
You don't know this,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj47QloD04m
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8CPaarLhr
And it broke my heart.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtbSbk8x9R
Seeing you like that,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfHzajgZAb
Was what helped me to get through this.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2ySFpE6R
Thank you Alice,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qocKM8voQ
For coming to see me every day,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nz447JIpj
For smiling at me when no one did,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64rACRopS
For caring for me,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmfo8pzXv
Even though I was a stranger,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpabCuBIvJ
When no one did.
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVe1897bXs
But most of all,
946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv0nsqR3Ki
Thank you
For being my friend,946Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LQKS0kElL
