you were lonely, and found yourself in a bar

It was valentine’s day, you walked along the streets glancing at the couples surrounding you. some held bouquets, some held gift baskets, some held bears, and yet you held nothing. everywhere you went there were couples and bright pink decorations dangling from stores, it made you sick. you decided to go to a bar.

you walked in and sat in a stool at the bar table, waiting for the bartender to finish his drink he was making for another customer. he glanced over at you and paused abruptly, his mouth was slightly agape. you ignored it and placed your head down still waiting.

moments later you saw him lean over sideways placing a drink in front of you. his soft gray eyes squinted slightly as he smiled at you.

“you’re too pretty to be moping like this.” he chuckled, his white hair fell over his eyes slightly, it looked fluffy and messy.
