Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhkc3Hs4U1
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk4xVih19T
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83r8TTo5Mq
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj1EW3v53l
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobuRqGSmqo
"Well these are for you."
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRh7OWuHw
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjiMAbut7d
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC7hi4SGcx
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiT0L9fNJa
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98EpL5wVX4
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwt55OUM96
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRWhVGEYFq
Bald
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTP1urmjsr
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjRrnKZW0P
But how could it be?
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ErL1qcjS
How could he have survived?
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVSw2EZ08a
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImpxcdXAKe
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEo7FRtWBP
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBZaVipstd
"You remembered," I heard him say.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKPJKDNnG
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1l5iOpIeO
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDhBEq8NYk
"Don't cry Alice."
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcbHSI3ZZW
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYcEQW8zgz
"Thanks."
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsD7Ilypug
He shook his head as his smile widened.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXllDyMAuN
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXXy15pz5J
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K1eSSwaI9
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8MY3xl6J
I was just a boy
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOdyLBy7aG
Laying on his death bed.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg1m3kRwnS
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4B94a3pt
But then you came on that fateful day
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVPg9alUZ
And you changed my world for the better
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegGNlBs1zi
You gave me a reason to wake up
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeNzbVMW1
And a reason to keep fighting.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a7DEh9f34
You don't know this,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjtlJ6rMbm
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ9LVAuvuv
And it broke my heart.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINevMqQyc3
Seeing you like that,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd0G0SpPCg
Was what helped me to get through this.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBU9S30FB
Thank you Alice,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMtDb0uc6X
For coming to see me every day,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dz1hzmGcM
For smiling at me when no one did,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VWbVe9yfq
For caring for me,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKHRAHZKV
Even though I was a stranger,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIlyxgfXoz
When no one did.
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuE73RJXL1
But most of all,
881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj40tmyq6t
Thank you
For being my friend,881Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnPXtajXOh
