Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHi2oGagdi
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJsWoQhJLV
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytWPfQrZA
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1ePGRGu3
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXBw4jIom2
"Well these are for you."
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQKWfPicBO
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADzQ6s77tO
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyO0fV3nYy
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ziXAWdUIa
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcOYSKzuNz
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVKDJdVyr4
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gEZ6n97GP
Bald
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BPlQ3rgco
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtniBGWVXCE
But how could it be?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAil5QjCDSk
How could he have survived?
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXhKpK3TLB
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTDPN5vBe3
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEns17Sq9CN
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMmYBb2Xvr
"You remembered," I heard him say.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6YCZtSEwC
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREb9CgRL88
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq2LLo8nm6
"Don't cry Alice."
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ5Qf3siA2
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbOv6U2BC
"Thanks."
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFL9L2vBU
He shook his head as his smile widened.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3nGa9wQVT
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWsxQWxZz7
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGtvyCdaz
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknu0t0hvI
I was just a boy
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mWRTByiQ
Laying on his death bed.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs090Hw9XI
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzB00eBO3u
But then you came on that fateful day
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU8I1VOtYl
And you changed my world for the better
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQZvLw1AIt
You gave me a reason to wake up
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCkNTuPi7i
And a reason to keep fighting.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVuT6oP3kH
You don't know this,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcobPnrmHb
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsWS7trPSm
And it broke my heart.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFjSIFiOTD
Seeing you like that,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSGLGRuSlP
Was what helped me to get through this.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxigzyNRzN
Thank you Alice,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsKW0ZKOXI
For coming to see me every day,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ORJxNMjR
For smiling at me when no one did,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ewYu0nsb
For caring for me,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQn8LbGt3
Even though I was a stranger,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRnb2BpOUO
When no one did.
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOR01yLpSx
But most of all,
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQN6KSqaLA
Thank you
For being my friend,854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RFQGXR4P1
When no one did.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYJEA4mZNi
