Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOExELdeB5t
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQNZi9bQuA
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgEke4UMiP
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHKHr5kKrl
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcDUhciAgj
"Well these are for you."
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEagY1ZZFzn
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2y2MBPIk
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5bjP58rVw
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXnRZb3wqx
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLDLI3aq42
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxYfBv2pOR
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfeJU8S6s4
Bald
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LE0R6KTN
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmFwGXKaF
But how could it be?
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUpxpWE1hU
How could he have survived?
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8FtqBEXJ
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahzFWiqKk
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzVVaHzkSf
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAH0IHUbbD
"You remembered," I heard him say.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQYvaMCvn
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlflcFfUKEH
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFNgjlHPBo
"Don't cry Alice."
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj6xRfEg6A
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsv7LnfgLT
"Thanks."
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynYYbfIO3Z
He shook his head as his smile widened.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxHAtCIZtb
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkay24HB1cc
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCVI6WUykj
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCR1X4YAD7
I was just a boy
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYbwwVKjO4
Laying on his death bed.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSFUUvkVUH
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxPvusyM25
But then you came on that fateful day
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPNhyJ2hPG
And you changed my world for the better
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9nVr408P8
You gave me a reason to wake up
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH91w0t79y
And a reason to keep fighting.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXLx9Bo8VM
You don't know this,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrDp83ZY4H
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfXh8GPg83
And it broke my heart.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgSQ9ttSKf
Seeing you like that,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cd2gA8GVP
Was what helped me to get through this.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtG57A3AEG
Thank you Alice,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDMh4ZD3L
For coming to see me every day,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qH6c0ZxV
For smiling at me when no one did,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbW9NILgQc
For caring for me,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXqF1uAijo
Even though I was a stranger,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRQxvotr3q
When no one did.
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLhuJPfhrZ
But most of all,
1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MydwsJgSe
Thank you
For being my friend,1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ74zSdyxi
When no one did.1024Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvfJBOXgg
