let's pretend it never happened

by the way,
what happened last night,
didn't happen,
or at least let's pretend
that it didn't.
let's call
it not a mistake, but an 
unfortunate
turn of events.
let's blame it on new
years eve,
on champagne and
celebration.
let's blame it on loneliness
and the mistletoe
hanging over
the door frame,
or us being the last
two standing,
as the crowd drifted
away.
and by the way what should
i do with the things
you left behind.
your purse, your shoes,
your handbag,
your negligee.
