x marks the spot


Crawling into bed

Your heart beats against his

Interlocked in an embrace

Two bodies connected, forming one

Puzzle pieces fitting together

Moving in harmony

Paddling to shore

X marks the spot

You've hit gold

until you open your eyes

what have you done?

were you right?

were you wrong?

should you have said yes?

should you have said no?

you're confused, you should've waited

but it's too late

this isn't a treasure you can rebury to be found again
