The Domino Effect in Love

           “I live living the land of the free and I like how it feels when you lean on me. Ever since you wondered into my back yard, I’ve dropped my resistance and lowered my guard. You’ve got the pieces of my heart all in a row. Knock one down and the whole thing goes,” as the song Domino Theory of Love goes.

            There is a domino effect in almost everything. Things are connected and through a chain reaction, one change will lead to another. Mostly, domino effect is considered as a series of unfortunate events except for love. The best feeling in the world is falling in love. And when you love, you feel like you’re in heaven. So would you still consider love as unlucky and unfortunate? I’m sure you won’t no matter how hurt you’ll get.

THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL

         The first domino falls as you see for the first moment the person of your attraction. You suddenly wanted him because of his physical attributes-his smirks and smiles, his addictive smell, his six-packed abs, his towering height, his Mario Maurer-look. The time he speaks, you eventually hear his sexy voice. Voila!  You began to desire him. Since desire is the start of love, the beginning of the fall takes place. And then one thing leads to another.

TOPPLING DOMINOES

  

            Because you are interested on him, you do efforts to get to know him. You may take his e-mail ad, add him on Facebook, follow him on Twitter and ask for his cellphone number. When things get smooth between you two, you start dating. After your sweet talks and day-to-day communication, you know that you have certain similarities with each other. Because of that, you feel compatible. You thought you’d make a great couple and so you decide to change your status from single to in a relationship.

WHEN THINGS FELL, NO ONE’S GONNA CATCH

            You are happy being with him. Those kisses in forehead, sweet talks, roses and chocolates, cuddles and hugs, sudden love banats make you fall deeper. But things get tough and out-of-hand. You break up. That event is not just caused by I-fall-out-of-love-with-him cliché. There are a million ways to kill a cat just as there are numerous reasons why you call it off. It maybe because he is bad tempered always, he has no time for you lately or he physically harms you. We don’t know why but I’m sure there are more reasons to that break-up.

THE DOMINOES FELL BUT THE PAIN STAYS

            Things are not yet finished just because you finish that relationship with him. Due to that break-up with that someone you seriously loves, you feel pain, sadness and undescribed longing for him to want you back again. That’s why you feel lazy and unproductive. You always cry during nights causing you to feel fatigue and lack of sleep.

BUILD THE DOMINOES BACK AGAIN

             “When you lost in the game, you rise up and build yourself back again.”  You realize that someone out there is better than him and that he’s more deserving to you than that jerk. You fall in love again. You know that the domino effect may happen again but you simply don’t care. If there is a cause, there is an effect. Likewise, if you risk in love, maybe you’ll feel complete in the end.

             “The domino theory of love it only takes a shoveI fall….you fall. We’ve got to keep our defenses up. That’s the domino theory of love. The game of romance is a balancing act. Two steps forward and one step back. Take a liberty, give a little ground. Next thing you know you’ll be sliding on down. When it comes to sorting out our hearts and our minds, we’re all a couple push overs standing in line.”
