Alice:
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKIZNjtUk
I stood at my door, looking at the unfamiliar guy standing before me.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAxmTiHF41T9
The flowers and card in his hands peaked my interest but his face showed sadness.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAvLYpUrUMFZ
"How can you not notice that it's me?" he asked, looking directly into my eyes.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAzYA1TO0gpt
I tried to survey his face but there wasn't anything which rang with recognition.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAIpb4zxol5v
He sighed when I didn't reply and placed the flowers and card into my hands.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAHiOhFhgoSr
"Well these are for you."
712Please respect copyright.PENANAHNb2orUDsd
His voice was so soft that I almost didn't hear him.
712Please respect copyright.PENANANN9hJ6H4ZH
He turned around and walked away with his head hung low.
712Please respect copyright.PENANA8r1Ynw0yDi
I felt a pang of sympathy in my heart as I looked at him walking away.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAYvvGjKnEDC
Did I really know him like he claimed I did?
712Please respect copyright.PENANARx0l8NpUwb
When he was almost at the end of the walkway, he turned around and raised a hand to his head.
712Please respect copyright.PENANA7fALwTgY0V
He pulled his hair back to make it look almost as if he was bald.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAyfeC7N2oXS
Bald
712Please respect copyright.PENANAHTzVxFoIPs
Instantly, I felt myself remembering the day that I had seen Leo without his hat.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAlrOvA1GMJo
But how could it be?
712Please respect copyright.PENANAkZBER0NH7l
How could he have survived?
712Please respect copyright.PENANAga9QgQ1CKP
Before I could stop myself, I felt my legs carry me to him.
712Please respect copyright.PENANANprBupZPD8
I hugged him tightly when I was close enough.
712Please respect copyright.PENANA0DdVdyK7SS
And I felt him hug me back tightly.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAtamjSCzKTW
"You remembered," I heard him say.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAsKlEqwxH1G
"I'm so sorry Leo. You just looked so different."
712Please respect copyright.PENANArUO0AuUkev
I couldn't help the few stray tears which escaped my eyes.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAopHWCfRbDT
"Don't cry Alice."
712Please respect copyright.PENANAGNnMaPfI90
I smiled as he wiped the tears away for me.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAA7AuyNtISr
"Thanks."
712Please respect copyright.PENANAH0gRuyLSf1
He shook his head as his smile widened.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAL3MqlSTpD9
"I should be thanking you; for all you've done for me."
712Please respect copyright.PENANAEDNcAWyUId
Not long after, he left and I walked into my room with the flowers and card still in my hand.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAUPp8FaH7Sv
I placed the colourful flowers on my desk and settled on my bed to read the card:
712Please respect copyright.PENANAj69YotWRwj
I was just a boy
712Please respect copyright.PENANAjWJpcgWz4f
Laying on his death bed.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAvv6eWryiLO
With no one to look forward to seeing in the morning
712Please respect copyright.PENANAlTmIuFklea
But then you came on that fateful day
712Please respect copyright.PENANASFb5Cmyyjm
And you changed my world for the better
712Please respect copyright.PENANAp15DihMuvL
You gave me a reason to wake up
712Please respect copyright.PENANAJNg7NCzY7C
And a reason to keep fighting.
712Please respect copyright.PENANARlvF85CL5w
You don't know this,
712Please respect copyright.PENANABfk6S5iCDA
But I saw you crying when I was in coma
712Please respect copyright.PENANAbTXJxVXcWQ
And it broke my heart.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAJVWvGjQfX8
Seeing you like that,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAbxaW3JzC4I
Was what helped me to get through this.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAwgdXO183Yx
Thank you Alice,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAZtnjZNzXyl
For coming to see me every day,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAx15VUXu5TD
For smiling at me when no one did,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAjFtLGX69br
For caring for me,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAVJqV6aetiH
Even though I was a stranger,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAzZEdJ0A9Po
When no one did.
712Please respect copyright.PENANAK9r3FWRm6R
But most of all,
712Please respect copyright.PENANAO4SHb7zcAi
Thank you
For being my friend,712Please respect copyright.PENANA29nkKtaHEp
When no one did.712Please respect copyright.PENANALvroieeDV7
