Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSZ4ttSEeM
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsXIUUXDHw
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRohvROYI6i
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAiBuvOrA
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbpi417Pmv
"Well these are for you."
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fvO38882d
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTUVrqjk7
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKIJzrS4vB
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8mVFIYtGW
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm25d6xAYt9
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kYpJ5Gpgj
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFAsbB6lwO
Bald
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXZcbX3m89
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0PxHDhK7
But how could it be?
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sOM6ybhjG
How could he have survived?
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAtcRzsI9g
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8esLBGI25s
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIMW2X8Nf9
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbr3DsmmLa
"You remembered," I heard him say.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8cj6wvvwI
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkbmpqDfxU
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLztjZPniV
"Don't cry Alice."
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxKdwTDBEb
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNaFls0KOb
"Thanks."
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZT45lg4bp
He shook his head as his smile widened.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNfBQeFNr
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHILNc3fK14
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSczNuaxMJE
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXnAokzwiq
I was just a boy
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTOE3C94bK
Laying on his death bed.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaI2FsVYNU
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GeazdRdX
But then you came on that fateful day
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbZC75DeF4
And you changed my world for the better
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87YJSAY1mx
You gave me a reason to wake up
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV2dIQhOw2
And a reason to keep fighting.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5OH3bho6e
You don't know this,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsxd2HdrWN
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpSqtbtx6g
And it broke my heart.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKk4oxNkY5
Seeing you like that,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjTyrPvYnG
Was what helped me to get through this.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos2aP0qrZ6
Thank you Alice,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmyXi3RG7k
For coming to see me every day,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaKC5Vmse
For smiling at me when no one did,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDXaUfyW8
For caring for me,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRiV4a9tWI
Even though I was a stranger,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hkGS9d55o
When no one did.
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaKIQJgHni
But most of all,
925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSzoGDqHj5
Thank you
For being my friend,925Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUY6ODv4a9
