Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1v8MaDiY3
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3efYGeON0N
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBL9H3TcBz
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSEAgb2Qv
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ozBnSXl0G
"Well these are for you."
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1R5t9GkZg
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTc1bHW2Dm
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9PQQyW9c0
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa0RCY3dnj
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDLKeQLiG
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD0lN8ik3D
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQHc6dNhA
Bald
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYallPngY
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQwa2NHMyJ
But how could it be?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX3UKkEyrc
How could he have survived?
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf6TenrRnL
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S0IO7wnUE
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPdKfLiqHL
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nyran3Ncy
"You remembered," I heard him say.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgaXFTF2S
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V3osQk5Vo
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rXR8KgG1B
"Don't cry Alice."
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4onGa5yGB
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKBJEEz2Cf
"Thanks."
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKN2iYIeAa
He shook his head as his smile widened.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YMV1DQY31
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlLwDLxP5
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDzk8VO03
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPkh9REjsL
I was just a boy
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegp7uxCwoM
Laying on his death bed.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpRHvvL1Jp
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRVDO5Au8J
But then you came on that fateful day
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8EWFyCUC0
And you changed my world for the better
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoGsqRSJFj
You gave me a reason to wake up
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT7dywiGzK
And a reason to keep fighting.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlNoGPRHez
You don't know this,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2R0uJhLQ
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUPmRMbAX4
And it broke my heart.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGaoeO4Gs6
Seeing you like that,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPPNwHxxX
Was what helped me to get through this.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXMifSM7v4
Thank you Alice,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ldcLjx753
For coming to see me every day,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCF2i7vTP
For smiling at me when no one did,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs8ZMPprNJ
For caring for me,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBum52GMOJs
Even though I was a stranger,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2CCv6O12x
When no one did.
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ117Ky2wfH6
But most of all,
966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGajn6p1BY
Thank you
For being my friend,966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt2sN23J08
When no one did.966Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ048ZXaLefH
