Love is a domino.
When one falls, there's always another that follows.
It keeps moving forward—
touching hearts it never meant to break,
passing through people like a quiet accident
that no one knows how to stop.
And somewhere in all that falling,
we convince ourselves
that maybe this time
the chain will end differently.
But it never does.
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.
