Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEnehZRPIn
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M45bDn8TT
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewEgtfj5tw
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXENPmZTvaK
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fg4t1FoCI
"Well these are for you."
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgOVvGZKz2
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWJ9cnjTBE
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy40dNQ5OC
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn34Trr1o1
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWns6UkN3YB
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTWpcAnVuU
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtIMRNG0g
Bald
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo48oh6RbmJ
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wGsgx8Wt9
But how could it be?
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxTso30mG
How could he have survived?
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZG5MEIe0Q
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xpF2rIpPA
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4phRDPlHe
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34K84pBKho
"You remembered," I heard him say.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKxLdWrYQ7
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjbYTVcx2p
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWoFU4vUJ6
"Don't cry Alice."
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KbI2hD0lP
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtHikIMONC
"Thanks."
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iB6gQ24nA
He shook his head as his smile widened.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oq7GlcDuS
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsC7VsbF8B
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsmcv9J1u
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJN0UmAzl
I was just a boy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn2fH50ZS0
Laying on his death bed.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIEkYQCVB3
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxBGXHaPn
But then you came on that fateful day
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKuB0P3DKo
And you changed my world for the better
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ldQPhsRl
You gave me a reason to wake up
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVZGpg2MAn
And a reason to keep fighting.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBolqvKpUnA
You don't know this,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmiBdLTWP
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WFI8SIt3h
And it broke my heart.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc94tNvKNxt
Seeing you like that,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dKz1f8MiH
Was what helped me to get through this.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFUJwxwh9Q
Thank you Alice,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S5L6pOiwC
For coming to see me every day,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBhSnAwtLU
For smiling at me when no one did,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH4RNlJllT
For caring for me,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK30cKz5ju
Even though I was a stranger,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiAHanwab0
When no one did.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9gwYqYLyN
But most of all,
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZqSd7tuNK
Thank you
For being my friend,912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlIJz3JH1i
