Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHB1Z2X0b
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5tCqlAkJl
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoeHZaLmki
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0nzoC4CNu
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qV9YO6SkK
"Well these are for you."
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8O4Rpvlq6
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNnCSESVda
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQB1cnkHAj
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCbjQIB6m
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BAo6L7CHu
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33YjXOGkHD
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c6nn2K0R1
Bald
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMSiRRcIuO
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKYEk6m5L
But how could it be?
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMhBakimje
How could he have survived?
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDtoD2IxK3
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda2AykW4Ze
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt3C7jIUQd
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKKxGCMjp6
"You remembered," I heard him say.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZfbOt4ms3
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTtccg0LmH
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCkTPtwHr1
"Don't cry Alice."
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CoGFmdRxN
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdyrzypShD
"Thanks."
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mDBqQCv97
He shook his head as his smile widened.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWilKcQW3YP
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVYiP5fZZt
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYNMIKQFPp
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fNY1rGcHz
I was just a boy
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe72eHCgdK
Laying on his death bed.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfvIJFZiks
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjoqCHvSEO
But then you came on that fateful day
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjiPsS6Nvh
And you changed my world for the better
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCiwVSWiX2
You gave me a reason to wake up
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVh7p2I6TQ
And a reason to keep fighting.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLGBWmlCd
You don't know this,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTF7njrRMP
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgqFibFrgd
And it broke my heart.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8VOYXCgJC
Seeing you like that,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxXcIVURKx
Was what helped me to get through this.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ojlIT5Zr
Thank you Alice,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHe2EgnHAU
For coming to see me every day,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT61iPlPs4
For smiling at me when no one did,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBkJMh4pJ
For caring for me,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys1IGyohBj
Even though I was a stranger,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxyxbrMn4K
When no one did.
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1inaUZPngG
But most of all,
957Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBcHN9qLti
Thank you
