The club was brimming with patrons. It was a surprising turnout for technically a Monday morning. There were groups of friends drinking and dancing. Couples enjoying their time together.
And a lot of single men.
As the night was early, some were still busy preening themselves. A number craned their necks and surveyed the crowd expectantly. And a few cruised the dance floor, already on the prowl.
A man with a bottle of beer sat in front of the crowded bar. He stared sadly at his reflection behind the bartender before shaking his head and breaking into a bitter smile.
There were so many lonely souls seeking attention, but he just sat there, deep in thought, at times cupping his face with his hands. He left after a while, unmindful of the smiles and eager stares as he passed by.
I silently wished the guy well from afar. I didn't know him from Adam, but I had worn that familiar face of sadness and regret myself, a few times too many.

It could have been me.
Nah, I'm good at hiding what's beneath. You will most likely find me - literally - wasted at the heart of the dance floor. Lol.
Lately, I move to places without announcing my arrival. Just like my detour at BED. Maybe next time, when you return here in Manila.
Cheers. :)
Did you dance?:) and hold hands and kiss like you were 17 again?
I hope you guys had fun in Manila. :)
