You Up Or Just Thinking About Me

It’s always late when you start thinking about me like this. Not during the day when everything is loud and distracting, not when you’re busy pretending you don’t care. It’s when things slow down, when it’s just you and your thoughts, when there’s nothing left to hide behind. That’s when I show up.

You check your phone like you expect something. Like maybe I’ll text first, like maybe I’m thinking about you at the exact same time. You try to play it cool, but you still look. You always look, even when you tell yourself you won’t.

And the truth is, you don’t even need me to say anything. You already know the energy between us. You know how quickly it shifts, how one message turns into something more, how easy it is to fall back into it even when you said you wouldn’t.

It’s not just a conversation, and you know that.

It’s the way it pulls you in without trying too hard, the way it lingers a little longer than it should, the way it makes you forget why you said you were done in the first place. You tell yourself you’re in control, that you’re choosing distance, that you’ve got it figured out.

But if I texted you right now, you’d pause for a second, and then respond.

Be honest.

It’s not even about what I say. It’s the feeling. The attention. The way I know exactly how to reach you without doing too much. And you let it happen every time, even when you know exactly where it leads.

You could ignore it. You could turn your phone over, go to sleep, pretend it doesn’t affect you. But you don’t. You stay up a little longer, you think about it a little more, you wonder if I’m doing the same thing on my end.

Maybe I am.

Tessa’s Straight-Up Perspective

You’re not just up, you’re waiting. Waiting for a message, a sign, something that gives you a reason to lean back into something you said you were done with. And the truth is, it wouldn’t take much.

Final Thought: Divine Delulu Summary

You can call it a thought, call it boredom, call it just another night. But if I showed up right now, you already know you wouldn’t ignore me.

So the real question isn’t are you up.

It’s how long you’re going to keep pretending you’re not waiting.
