Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kfW1jNwo3
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX95H5nJ5VL
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGtwxSHI8D
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUpZ6pAeG
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAVoTjxUWE
"Well these are for you."
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUzYEHUfAE
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aVjVUyh0H
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc4NDFHaS6
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEOyfPh3I9
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBq4EuicHM
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv70oKdNRHj
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jTsbxfd0k
Bald
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG5jxIYjKc
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26MpfKnz6D
But how could it be?
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdByFcxubh
How could he have survived?
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDpEzcXMwv
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXv4oCFDR
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl9zBfPZiP
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIDBTnpd9
"You remembered," I heard him say.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJLiu3jbN7
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uHu1adyS
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0okuyr4ju
"Don't cry Alice."
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnVVkiwoHo
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgrCKYeA6w
"Thanks."
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILg4Ee6No2
He shook his head as his smile widened.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlFKVmHeU
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu77T6ggHGI
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUB20Tm3v
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRgGdKs6oC
I was just a boy
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYRbq8GaJ
Laying on his death bed.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDabYaUWK7
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfqQfTBsZU
But then you came on that fateful day
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5evgHNYBN3
And you changed my world for the better
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84WwTdrHzt
You gave me a reason to wake up
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQXGoSHHig
And a reason to keep fighting.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ150u7gRxDS
You don't know this,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4LEmxOSK
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKMNRSDsGN
And it broke my heart.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qkVpQDSbM
Seeing you like that,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHdPilJ9F
Was what helped me to get through this.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nlf8nko6Y
Thank you Alice,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZylw8R7bz
For coming to see me every day,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT57MfFqLdi
For smiling at me when no one did,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAGx7lqRNs
For caring for me,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJmIekocf5
Even though I was a stranger,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OZwzwject
When no one did.
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWRynM23kB
But most of all,
918Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGiGPh5dzz
