Feb 2019
my cheeks light on fire often.
like roses. roses on fire. warm summer winds.
my friends say i'm awkward -
but it's charming!

when my cheeks get rosy, when i dart my eyes away from the subject at hand:

when i am thinking about ***
when i sing the wrong note in choir
when i try on a form fitting outfit
when my friends are laughing at the same time
when i notice a first date happening
when i catch eyes with anyone (anyone)
when i'm late
when the champagne lid pops off

it feels quite intense
exploring shyness
