Alice:
713Please respect copyright.PENANAUPpnkwLbhM
I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
713Please respect copyright.PENANA9R1fn47Z19
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAC4hMdvAdNi
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
713Please respect copyright.PENANADXSn6u4f6v
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAX2vFrG0T9c
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
713Please respect copyright.PENANADMQPhml8j4
"Well these are for you."
713Please respect copyright.PENANAWU6aOXE3NU
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAxyI69zKf1Z
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
713Please respect copyright.PENANA2CUv2VR55s
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAKwRui0gTNR
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
713Please respect copyright.PENANAgcgs5g3af1
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAlZV3ci8sSd
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAOVBe9Yj2Tc
Bald
713Please respect copyright.PENANAXUYxI90NXx
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
713Please respect copyright.PENANASXmdLTidR1
But how could it be?
713Please respect copyright.PENANA7DudWnNVfW
How could he have survived?
713Please respect copyright.PENANAgBdmQAa7MN
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQLWemM2oiZ
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAoVbTe6dhyo
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAI1NRoCS1Y7
"You remembered," I heard him say.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQnVZ1UPNud
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
713Please respect copyright.PENANAiOmbFe5YnN
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
713Please respect copyright.PENANA36rZ43tHtC
"Don't cry Alice."
713Please respect copyright.PENANA9WxI0dXsZS
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAG3P0cHcFeP
"Thanks."
713Please respect copyright.PENANAKTtnCYPNdd
He shook his head as his smile widened.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6dKd6iuTh
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
713Please respect copyright.PENANAfePxle9duR
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAU8B54aP85N
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
713Please respect copyright.PENANAWCXecpnuIx
I was just a boy
713Please respect copyright.PENANAIe6E1AVlTh
Laying on his death bed.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAnX8yp1LrTN
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
713Please respect copyright.PENANAhu3z0717fU
But then you came on that fateful day
713Please respect copyright.PENANAQzHdy3tYpU
And you changed my world for the better
713Please respect copyright.PENANAFbDJsc1bc3
You gave me a reason to wake up
713Please respect copyright.PENANAdod9dmVJsB
And a reason to keep fighting.
713Please respect copyright.PENANA6zGvwzpoBH
You don't know this,
713Please respect copyright.PENANAhtdLdUkPjN
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
713Please respect copyright.PENANARY0UEcNT5C
And it broke my heart.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAWhCEEWlm3r
Seeing you like that,
713Please respect copyright.PENANAmPWV32tg7C
Was what helped me to get through this.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAV36dycuc2Z
Thank you Alice,
713Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbGoKGWB2
For coming to see me every day,
713Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bu370KhuG
For smiling at me when no one did,
713Please respect copyright.PENANANX7q4FqUZb
For caring for me,
713Please respect copyright.PENANAYLIHXP1pgI
Even though I was a stranger,
713Please respect copyright.PENANARh3zyPHx2K
When no one did.
713Please respect copyright.PENANAW84lofuyeh
But most of all,
713Please respect copyright.PENANAUCA96Wzy4r
