Love is a domino. When one falls, there's always another that follows.
When you love...
You fall for one, they fall for another.
There's an endless cycle of dominoes that ends up destroying us.
Our words, our actions, they all affect someone else, but the truth is hidden.
Dominoes after dominoes. Heart after heart. All falling, all breaking.
At once.

Wouldn't you agree that life would be easier if the people we love, loved us back?

And as he looked at me with his perfect smile, I knew it was too late. I knew I had made a mistake. Like a domino I had fallen, and I knew that dominoes only fall forward, that they never go back. I knew he would never love me the way I did, and still I tried to convince myself that he would. That maybe if I just tried enough, he would come to realize that maybe it was possible.

If I could just go back to the first domino, I would, the domino that started it all.
