Alice:

I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
920Please respect copyright.PENANA913z3U6mOG
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAV6X4T7p8VQ
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAxAH7RPymdf
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAg3FfkYnsGF
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAPers9b2lbU
"Well these are for you."
920Please respect copyright.PENANACR89p3ZXHc
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
920Please respect copyright.PENANACVvLLuifAk
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAXj5WgFMlUh
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAock6ceppZS
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
920Please respect copyright.PENANAbh8GELbgSJ
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAXzve5JiSEL
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAW3alyOIMOy
Bald
920Please respect copyright.PENANAWe9JP1bP8y
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAM7uMFSsS2t
But how could it be?
920Please respect copyright.PENANA1o6Yl5Czou
How could he have survived?
920Please respect copyright.PENANApKHxe5jcut
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAhbOE0eEPQJ
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
920Please respect copyright.PENANA84R3QOp9G0
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAqa2ILJflCo
"You remembered," I heard him say.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAeDscafteWD
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
920Please respect copyright.PENANATA4vDEeFhX
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAQljdzYMGmc
"Don't cry Alice."
920Please respect copyright.PENANAlEunEBPSq6
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAqV0YxJ1Rfk
"Thanks."
920Please respect copyright.PENANAymDyZqhAId
He shook his head as his smile widened.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAvXNvF6dGYm
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
920Please respect copyright.PENANAaFOlX0fQiT
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAtcoiL584Mr
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
920Please respect copyright.PENANAXGLZrGa2P2
I was just a boy
920Please respect copyright.PENANAMn4g3c00v9
Laying on his death bed.
920Please respect copyright.PENANARvErIodHyu
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
920Please respect copyright.PENANAEdli5DNhjL
But then you came on that fateful day
920Please respect copyright.PENANA8kUCk5Z4tb
And you changed my world for the better
920Please respect copyright.PENANANMgCJl1x9g
You gave me a reason to wake up
920Please respect copyright.PENANA0NEx0UbqVR
And a reason to keep fighting.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAXzc07V43G2
You don't know this,
920Please respect copyright.PENANA0QLI81h9cc
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
920Please respect copyright.PENANA0S6oakSSkp
And it broke my heart.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAPz4w1MtObU
Seeing you like that,
920Please respect copyright.PENANAFPwjP2AoDv
Was what helped me to get through this.
920Please respect copyright.PENANArr0oj4gZ3K
Thank you Alice,
920Please respect copyright.PENANAE9XRSw2ToD
For coming to see me every day,
920Please respect copyright.PENANA0GE8qdmG7U
For smiling at me when no one did,
920Please respect copyright.PENANACmGnsk4UNC
For caring for me,
920Please respect copyright.PENANAvgRe4763LC
Even though I was a stranger,
920Please respect copyright.PENANAGzTomtDvnc
When no one did.
920Please respect copyright.PENANAFvfs7ZVUtC

920Please respect copyright.PENANAOQdO4EHfeO
