Here and Gone
By Steve Baba


She gave me a fake name
And so did I

We stole the bouquet
And a bottle of champagne

We sat at the piano
Eyes locked

Our lips were inches away

We danced slowly to the last song
I told her I was sexier in a
Beached stained t-shirt and sweats

She believed me

Close your eyes she said
And count to five

I did
And when I opened them

She was gone
