Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDYWa1T7o
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RsY6wfPhE
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLvXIK0STu
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3akGsdYdn
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qSg0Q6w0q
"Well these are for you."
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwotHCWIb7i
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRQulHWcj
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYaJyoVXW9
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LO6kVOm57
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UGL4uYIqn
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUATVNcEKb
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTVcNU9ay1
Bald
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbaRcRV9a
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TB0lk4xd5
But how could it be?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81vobntn3D
How could he have survived?
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtLsxVmPdn
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHUr5BOedp
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2CzM2yC9b
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh4fVA138Q
"You remembered," I heard him say.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklNP40P28Z
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf97LfVrGF
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sstR6yjjo
"Don't cry Alice."
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ciiorka15
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHwrIblcWS
"Thanks."
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGCa3GXMKM
He shook his head as his smile widened.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC7nqqMdyD
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DqpRJYBE
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ915hRI5q53
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO07WxViNn
I was just a boy
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6TQNJOf8
Laying on his death bed.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMfCAyf3ys
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XRUCYxgv3
But then you came on that fateful day
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUVrF6UN1X
And you changed my world for the better
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQDykb8X2F
You gave me a reason to wake up
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXhsQXfPRl
And a reason to keep fighting.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOx2bdsahr
You don't know this,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrrTuzJgYN
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEz8egOgHZ
And it broke my heart.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYszmfCnb9
Seeing you like that,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCNhJZIPBo
Was what helped me to get through this.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQROBB45lj5
Thank you Alice,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49YTXt8OcR
For coming to see me every day,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLFYcOsATC
For smiling at me when no one did,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XYPeVy65v
For caring for me,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLcyvfbM8
Even though I was a stranger,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXw9APYaip
When no one did.
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoBLXp354c
But most of all,
1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjxISo3c7j
Thank you
For being my friend,1006Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlQs0j4cuJ
