No matter how often you tell me I'm gorgeous
I feel fuzzy inside every time
My toes curl up in my shoes
Like caterpillars shy of the sun
My heart will beat faster and faster
An irregular beat of my wings
My face will scrunch up into a squint
As if the sun were in my eyes
My cheeks will flush red as my lipstick
Roses of warm color blossom on my skin
Somehow
Only you
Make me feel this way
So I cherish it when I do
Though I know I look awkward and stupid
My feelings won't hide
The way I do
