Alice:
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweczE3z60G
I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BobSUGceK
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXbtcjONuZ
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3bdsQiXm3
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMqdVkGvZ2
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tL4zSeqJq
"Well these are for you."
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcWKaoGf5c
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcjJrs38d7
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWW9IT70Zx
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBNTY9cdxP
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdixaRC6np
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCPMnM8w6k
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppuqQsxmTz
Bald
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyBkwWIyAV
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOdhlcAmBO
But how could it be?
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8wgeUv6lA
How could he have survived?
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdN45CLFb7
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRXfGC8Wwa
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq0H1Czxfr
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguz3MrlxTw
"You remembered," I heard him say.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRlqsINlf3
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9hW2Z3PHC
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RQsbOgOTy
"Don't cry Alice."
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN4Zit2b84
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZpHx2EPZD
"Thanks."
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXKKsl0kg6
He shook his head as his smile widened.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV4lQMBAIN
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucgmXhXLYG
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmYzZtYYzM
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv6jX675XA
I was just a boy
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzYCnb69aK
Laying on his death bed.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Pa05JYgu
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqvXOXwkXP
But then you came on that fateful day
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡync7ZY4P09
And you changed my world for the better
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4ytjCz8f
You gave me a reason to wake up
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFp7F4Tez
And a reason to keep fighting.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7FTZxUAcs
You don't know this,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PEIvI8bTh
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoihyf72Jdv
And it broke my heart.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDmMqSkX0
Seeing you like that,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY03uF4Z26p
Was what helped me to get through this.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZofSfwBs6
Thank you Alice,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaPGwyH4M
For coming to see me every day,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtUHlyjoPE
For smiling at me when no one did,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqaHTJXpRH
For caring for me,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rXVfqYnIx
Even though I was a stranger,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBvLjHzzwY
When no one did.
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIXQdL9Mxc
But most of all,
1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEFEdSVhvS
Thank you
For being my friend,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsjx1zOg4d
When no one did.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUpGfcnRil
