Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Hehxh2cu
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOee7GC0d0
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfxASw7JFR
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUVlqhZiN
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcmUqpMajC
"Well these are for you."
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO8mnATpUM
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuey40dGqiF
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHcdQYEj4W
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNDfcSJlC
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9piraEk6
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnCVW8FDEI
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxGh55ayeq
Bald
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraMgEBJ8QS
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqa8eDG2py
But how could it be?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKjzGPj4O
How could he have survived?
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKQ01qpfZ
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFgkCyfKgx
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2alXISHK3P
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHLvxV0uqx
"You remembered," I heard him say.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhdiAUgX9
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLvfcQ93B
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ek3z8Ln14
"Don't cry Alice."
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0aOYtetH
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJDIvNorhF
"Thanks."
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TuAyeznI
He shook his head as his smile widened.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGlKbMVuYf
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5i5q4JGGq
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntqGlU5C78
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXif11KTCB9
I was just a boy
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm3wALWFnS
Laying on his death bed.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyBvD9hEZD
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRLOcBDtNv
But then you came on that fateful day
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jz3RiG0Wa
And you changed my world for the better
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal2jymdiQW
You gave me a reason to wake up
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa35FvVrkuo
And a reason to keep fighting.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vMvjZffSV
You don't know this,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGaw16Wjt
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegdhEdPMdI
And it broke my heart.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8gCgKtkFW
Seeing you like that,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaCZpmGkkk
Was what helped me to get through this.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIcTm6ya9a
Thank you Alice,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z4JvZLUKu
For coming to see me every day,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHC7dyOzQk
For smiling at me when no one did,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyzffqKlHf
For caring for me,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdof62cXcd
Even though I was a stranger,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IcLj8znKz
When no one did.
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HcJgQmvMe
But most of all,
855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQmDwebEo
Thank you
For being my friend,855Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EiDaQYYh2
