Alice:
736Please respect copyright.PENANAkrb5vSD3tP
I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAE91zAfwlyp
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
736Please respect copyright.PENANA3RQFG6BFR7
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
736Please respect copyright.PENANArG6cDQbkg6
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAnCpJqrD0ES
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAHM4rb7kmXt
"Well these are for you."
736Please respect copyright.PENANAm2MAnyvmxC
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAUi1blXr9dR
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
736Please respect copyright.PENANA73OVwoigYQ
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAfZcGrixvFB
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
736Please respect copyright.PENANAMAVABONfrj
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAojo2Iulp44
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
736Please respect copyright.PENANALTiiSYFnRR
Bald
736Please respect copyright.PENANAGdHWpphwMt
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAYngePK3GTz
But how could it be?
736Please respect copyright.PENANAqGbs1VF23H
How could he have survived?
736Please respect copyright.PENANAefcoRDj1oD
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAQCYHY4P3Xi
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAUcvF9hB5rd
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
736Please respect copyright.PENANA2dRbqu1Rrh
"You remembered," I heard him say.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAyqtC9Hexb2
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
736Please respect copyright.PENANAY8lm8sm8cz
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAhDB6vyGm1w
"Don't cry Alice."
736Please respect copyright.PENANAzIN3npY9cs
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAPJcIlHmuoa
"Thanks."
736Please respect copyright.PENANAKcQlOZVPSL
He shook his head as his smile widened.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAxRZUWDeRtu
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
736Please respect copyright.PENANA582R0cp4eK
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAXtCp0geVYu
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
736Please respect copyright.PENANAgO6JcMUcdD
I was just a boy
736Please respect copyright.PENANA7JMdIbKXaT
Laying on his death bed.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAIUaLV5MgiM
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
736Please respect copyright.PENANAUAhjnnltY4
But then you came on that fateful day
736Please respect copyright.PENANAbVIhyzEx0q
And you changed my world for the better
736Please respect copyright.PENANA9owATdAxfk
You gave me a reason to wake up
736Please respect copyright.PENANAauWI33Z6CH
And a reason to keep fighting.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAa9It56ZPx0
You don't know this,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAscCrjl9UO9
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
736Please respect copyright.PENANAETztscioFN
And it broke my heart.
736Please respect copyright.PENANA3n5asBFZjP
Seeing you like that,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAiAwroOrKC5
Was what helped me to get through this.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAVJQqXJWN4l
Thank you Alice,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAhlzhsDqiJM
For coming to see me every day,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAu7ylIcs3Pp
For smiling at me when no one did,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAOucetiji11
For caring for me,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAKceHpU7hym
Even though I was a stranger,
736Please respect copyright.PENANATtan294HFv
When no one did.
736Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Xt166vcJ
But most of all,
736Please respect copyright.PENANAe5nsDepw0C
