Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wnl2ufXSA
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATJ543SEUl
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu8mVwce8q
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83E8PcPDa
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ImNx5fAmD
"Well these are for you."
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FGy8Gw0Ww
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNabNDSPfV1
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMIlGsAJ8S
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2tlwPSQQH
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Wr3Qb9Iu
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaSFCywDl0
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqd91aHy6n
Bald
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO19MK9QzJ6
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBHT5310I
But how could it be?
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltox85ROpg
How could he have survived?
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFU1B0hC6g
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5QeJ2rUNt
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IJctonRzX
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCugW5DaqHD
"You remembered," I heard him say.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkLin5lJS
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfvoESYSOq
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbBFbPcGgp
"Don't cry Alice."
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1xv429O0E
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMLp17dRHg
"Thanks."
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYEtsYusv1
He shook his head as his smile widened.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtxe6s0oME
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ326MEuiYwH
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6w9UoQj07
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJraTtw1m
I was just a boy
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4opG6aPJLU
Laying on his death bed.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BmsKPvP7a
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uoSYSrZDU
But then you came on that fateful day
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnz7SSWegq
And you changed my world for the better
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNC26nL5G
You gave me a reason to wake up
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78WFTv9sW6
And a reason to keep fighting.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP8fPoat0O
You don't know this,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVt5Ptl7nf
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmRwV5hgRH
And it broke my heart.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHurU6PLTg
Seeing you like that,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPC2HF3bKU
Was what helped me to get through this.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4LzDSSZAJ
Thank you Alice,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLi9qpQVFF
For coming to see me every day,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jj1vJiIjt
For smiling at me when no one did,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHBawglJsb
For caring for me,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9KQTR8AkY
Even though I was a stranger,
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPk4JB5McG
When no one did.
942Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xzl4lFJpM
