Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTGQKADgI
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtWeZvhXEg
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQdPru0QLP
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE8OuUA3NY
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ed5Ym9Xd
"Well these are for you."
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC8UIRgB2f
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL82pua2hjz
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqiiLBVMnb
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDNMAThLfE
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU5UNLU1pp
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI84Ad7td7M
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KEMO6KcuI
Bald
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV40lSdeL7
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK8LH67h5Y
But how could it be?
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumW6JPYNhB
How could he have survived?
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWjYq3SVpb
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm48Rd53jr8
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PPUeBtzND
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqgnakaPaI
"You remembered," I heard him say.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jnq8Rcgvd
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAWb8o2b4
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmYSeXKeWC
"Don't cry Alice."
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOte3qZnHvT
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMQol3xk4z
"Thanks."
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssSj5qTE3r
He shook his head as his smile widened.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPnDY8ouJ
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKkpzkDPrn
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2X2ZjLg0e
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlJsnjkoqa
I was just a boy
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38gDuoMyJm
Laying on his death bed.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zmTNP5h2
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlvig6Po1
But then you came on that fateful day
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84meiVsxun
And you changed my world for the better
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS7apEuSht
You gave me a reason to wake up
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZxUydRK0n
And a reason to keep fighting.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oiy0p5zAJ
You don't know this,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuwya7amLU
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNOe1JykMK
And it broke my heart.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrPaALAuOk
Seeing you like that,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEY2fdtAvv
Was what helped me to get through this.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rrK6Gd5Jl
Thank you Alice,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEjxsXWY5B
For coming to see me every day,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTi8bkvds
For smiling at me when no one did,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzbWzy5mYO
For caring for me,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YVgJFEudK
Even though I was a stranger,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ2k344gDh
When no one did.
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJyHkbGDW2
But most of all,
997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATZTBFiPfo
Thank you
For being my friend,997Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyrZPfeKP
