Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk82tmFNlK
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75OVsZjrTz
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0iUUn1knr
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDlXi0jCTu
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzVQcNAVx1
"Well these are for you."
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXoVkF53qR
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPdz42bO5d
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IY7akdCwG
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7ut2azzi
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI67ZB7gppb
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJySRvLFDxj
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU7RLl1Udv
Bald
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL9o7eg02I
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzs9fcnJQq
But how could it be?
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4h9EopmMH
How could he have survived?
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV1BrEf6x4
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB4mchfkSr
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4q6CZ0mLd
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqlC7S7pSl
"You remembered," I heard him say.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9aOzBlyTt
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVSGs5nA84
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpYWKCaZh9
"Don't cry Alice."
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnCZOXlzb
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGcJhnzcEq
"Thanks."
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX66TTEiRa
He shook his head as his smile widened.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7wBCCDUts
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUy7kFQl8
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFa1u39g72
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHhEn2tqyU
I was just a boy
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fLVhgxhP3
Laying on his death bed.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeXmGEo8nS
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAsyLHapNe
But then you came on that fateful day
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HF6BHAqV
And you changed my world for the better
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNceb3a0z
You gave me a reason to wake up
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZFfoiH6B
And a reason to keep fighting.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABOoz42AuS
You don't know this,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYMNUjm3TD
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMoMf1gwAM
And it broke my heart.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHmKmtNICQ
Seeing you like that,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w8f5LuR8V
Was what helped me to get through this.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm5C395HRn
Thank you Alice,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KlBLk5kkA
For coming to see me every day,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMMLXVS2dT
For smiling at me when no one did,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dGflPCpAC
For caring for me,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hZoZMFR1
Even though I was a stranger,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ezB2zNQUf
When no one did.
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoifDu2aQzH
But most of all,
908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zc84GkSLf
Thank you
For being my friend,908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePxjnAEMqt
