I wish I could be
Hiding under a blanket-

My cheeks start to burn

This is amazing. It's fascinating how, because you've made your poem so short, the rest is automatically filled in by our own awkward memories. Simple and pretty, without excess embellishment, so we can embellish ourselves. Eek, I'm cringing now. I just remembered my own awkwardness. I loved the poem, though. Five stars! :)

That's one of the worst feelings :/ I've felt that way one too many times haha :) I really like this poem, Liv...but I'm not sure why :P thanks for posting!!
