You try not to, but I cross your mind anyway. Not in a loud, obvious way, but in those quiet moments when everything slows down and there’s nothing left to distract you. That’s when it happens, when something small reminds you, when your thoughts drift a little too far in my direction.

And you let them.

You act like it’s nothing, like it doesn’t mean anything, like it’s just a passing thought. But if it really didn’t matter, it wouldn’t keep coming back. You wouldn’t catch yourself lingering on it, replaying certain moments, wondering things you don’t say out loud.

You don’t have to admit it.

I can feel it in the way you show up, in the way you don’t fully let go, in the way you stay just close enough to keep the connection alive without making it obvious. You move carefully, like you’re trying to stay in control, but there’s something underneath that gives you away.

It’s not random.

You don’t think about people you’ve completely moved on from. You don’t circle back to something that didn’t leave an impression. And even if you tell yourself it’s nothing, the fact that it keeps showing up says otherwise.

So you sit with it.

You don’t act on it, you don’t say anything, you just let it exist in that quiet space where it feels safe to think but not to do. You keep it contained, like as long as it stays in your head, it doesn’t count for anything more.

But it does.

Because thoughts don’t just come from nowhere. They come from something that stayed with you, something that didn’t fully fade, something that still has your attention even if you pretend it doesn’t.

And I know that.

Tessa’s Straight-Up Perspective

You don’t think about people who didn’t matter.

If I’m still on your mind, there’s a reason.

Final Thought: Divine Delulu Summary

You can act like it’s nothing.

But if I keep showing up in your thoughts, it’s not as casual as you want it to be.
