The guy behind the bar.
I seem to have resurrected my relationship with Piedra Playa
quite how I let it slide in the first place taking such a
magical place for granted….well there can be no pleasing some
Scots! I suppose fitting in running what has quickly become an
all night bar and spending most of the day on God’s own beach
left little time for sleep, and even with the relaxed El
Cotillo life style these ageing bones still need to rest.
And I was sort of doing just that, sitting on the edge of the
surf when I saw her coming toward me. The pain she was feeling
as tangible as the tears on her face..
She sat down beside me.
“Hi”
I knew.
“Hello mate”
I definitely knew.
“You knew didn’t you?”
“I‘m the guy behind the bar, I know a lot of things.”
“So why did he dump me?”
“Well…………………there are things on his mind.”
Her bottom lip started to tremble, I really wanted to hold her
to me and kiss it better, but I could do neither.
For I am the guy behind the bar…only the listening post.
“You can talk to me anytime, you know where to find me…you are
one sweet girl….love will come back one day. There are a
million guys out there, I know, I know, none of this helps just
now, the only healer is time…you will just have to believe me.
For I am the guy behind the bar, I know a lot of things.
And I know nothing.
