Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuDgcpiRTn
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCudequ1j
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDud7ealj
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBUVotSAtv
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TPhbsoYu1
"Well these are for you."
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNRuWb3Pp2
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8ZvXG0dk
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9IC7vH6s
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19D4aRIIr9
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIUFCzkTgt
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP5SB6Ah9j
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFlb5vvVNk
Bald
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrVnqAzppJ
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1XNk7YofX
But how could it be?
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPMpNeAWCq
How could he have survived?
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfeEDSHNjR
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ7KCajaRk
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt0vg0IrmM
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ385cO73g67
"You remembered," I heard him say.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQo8IKGYxq
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7rDyroK0
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp9AOXkEBQ
"Don't cry Alice."
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsgTq3pQ1v
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDEfeoDthW
"Thanks."
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVfa1PvEf
He shook his head as his smile widened.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftA5FJfn47
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeP84hwMvi
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkeF0WqwGa
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClPBeB0Z6u
I was just a boy
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11xf8T7urh
Laying on his death bed.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHxzGyZgT
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMIEdTxwb
But then you came on that fateful day
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMkceuxND
And you changed my world for the better
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2zWf05pX3
You gave me a reason to wake up
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCANQeKrE
And a reason to keep fighting.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5VVpSuBEX
You don't know this,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dnix5cxbr
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBHqz6JW1
And it broke my heart.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CgydqksX9
Seeing you like that,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHFH8nBG8f
Was what helped me to get through this.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS4aQk5J0k
Thank you Alice,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V5hJuww7n
For coming to see me every day,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO3ayhfv5p
For smiling at me when no one did,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYdWpPDzF1
For caring for me,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DmgxG2OvW
Even though I was a stranger,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOultzwLFD
When no one did.
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOQFHgw3d8
But most of all,
1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxRQjRoFGc
Thank you
For being my friend,1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPM9MaME9H
When no one did.1058Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQuxpivhvp
