Loving you was easy. Hating you was hard. Falling out was insane. - Dominic Riccitello
I loved everything to anything to everyone who surrounded him. He was perfect. A delusion with a sweet melancholy taste. He was crazy, but he was my crazy and inside, everything felt right. - Dominic Riccitello
Sadness brings delicacy. Happiness brings subliminal terror. - Dominic Riccitello
He said I wanted revenge, but if I wanted revenge I would’ve just broken his heart. - Dominic Riccitello
Some days I wonder if I stopped writing about him, if I’d love him a little less. - Dominic Riccitello
One day he’ll realize he is and was wrong. But that’s for him to figure out. You can’t change people or make them realize things they don’t want to see. - Dominic Riccitello
The silences weren’t awkward. For me at least. Because I was there in the moment with him. - Dominic Riccitello
You were like fine wine, but cheap wine gets you drunk faster. - Dominic Riccitello
You can’t just be. You have to become. - Dominic Riccitello
I’ll never know if it was figuratively or literally when he said I drove him crazy. - Dominic Riccitello
Sticks and stones may break my bones but your words were always the hardest. - Dominic Riccitello
Sometimes the anxiety takes over and I can’t seem to fathom the love he gives me. - Dominic Riccitello
Loving him made me never want to love another human being. - Dominic Riccitello
They leave to test the waters but fail to realize the waters are full of rapids. - Dominic Riccitello
They say if the love is true, then it’s easy. But that’s false. Love is complicated. It’s sticky. It’s bliss and it’s a mix of emotions. It’s not easy. - Dominic Riccitello
I realized I loved him after everything went wrong so I wallowed in self-pity and prayed I could wake up. - Dominic Riccitello
We must make tough decisions to see if it’s worth it in the end. - Dominic Riccitello
If you’re in a relationship and find yourself constantly using we instead of I - stop. You are more than your relationship. - Dominic Riccitello
Your worth is what you allow it to be. - Dominic Riccitello
My mistakes were because I was selfless. I wanted to complete someone else, I didn’t think about completing myself. - Dominic Riccitello
But could words bethe end of me? - Dominic Riccitello
Sometimes love them more than you, but just make sure you love yourself too. - Dominic Riccitello
I don’t believe he deserves the thousands of poems I’ve written about him, but life doesn’t follow rules. We do things for people who don’t necessarily deserve it. But we liked it, we loved it and fell in love enough to write about it. - Dominic Riccitello
The hard part wasn’t breaking up. The hard part is forcing myself to fall out of love with you. - Dominic Riccitello
Loving you was hard, wanting you was harder, but kissing your forehead was insanity. - Dominic Riccitello
I like the chase, scavenging and how we unravel. Standing naked with all my pores at the door. Waiting for a response, a love, someone to call my home. Where my emotions graze the air and I’m lying half past gone. - Dominic Riccitello
People are so worried about being accepted that it causes them to lose themselves and in turn, lose moments. - Dominic Riccitello
I stumbled upon something and someone so magnificent I was truly blind to it. - Dominic Riccitello
You want to know what I loved about him? Everything. From a freckle on his ass down to his undying selfish need to always be right. - Dominic Riccitello
It’ll always be mine, but it’ll always be your heart. - Dominic Riccitello
I smell him in intervals, in varieties, in ways I don’t quite understand. - Dominic Riccitello
I don’t write about you. I describe you. I explain you. - Dominic Riccitello
You have to grow. You have to be. You have to love yourself unconditionally. - Dominic Riccitello
I believe we were right for each other, but not in that moment, which perhaps hindered any possibility of a future. - Dominic Riccitello
I don’t want content. I want slight fear. Anxiety. I want a longing devotion for a twist of absence. The feeling of complete isn’t quite pleasing. - Dominic Riccitello
I romanticized him until he was the perfect being. A soul so beautiful, but so immensely evil too. - Dominic Riccitello
Give second chances, third chances, but not a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and so on. Appreciate yourself and understand your worth – know it takes time for people to change, to become better. But know what you can take and what you deserve. - Dominic Riccitello
It takes awhile, but eventually you realize they lost you. You didn’t lose them. - Dominic Riccitello
I touched him. From brain to body, in ways I couldn’t quite understand. But he did and for him, that was all that mattered. - Dominic Riccitello
Sometimes relationships aren’t meant to be forever. We stumble upon one another to learn, to love, to appreciate and become who we’re supposed to be. - Dominic Riccitello
I’ve spent awhile trying to figure out where I’m going and the only thing I’ve come to realize is it doesn’t matter where, it’s how I get there. - Dominic Riccitello
His eyes said what I cannot see. - Dominic Riccitello
I knew I’d be troubled, but who knew awhile meant forever? - Dominic Riccitello
It was our first date and I asked what his favorite movie is. He asked if I’d judge him, but instead of judging him I just loved him. - Dominic Riccitello
I think we might’ve met in a past life. You know, one of those you pass and think, wow you’re kind of beautiful. Just one of those. - Dominic Riccitello
They’re scared of death, but that’s like being afraid of life. - Dominic Riccitello
It wasn’t worth it, but at the time it was. And that’s all that mattered. - Dominic Riccitello
We were one, even in the darkest corner. - Dominic Riccitello
It didn’t affect him because he couldn’t fathom how I felt. He never saw how I held or how I dealt. And when a breeze hits, his first thought is never a scent. We worked in different ways and different places, which were divided by a constellation. - Dominic Riccitello
Sometimes others narcissism will take place of your happiness. Don’t let it happen. - Dominic Riccitello
Someone's therapist knows all about you. - Dominic Riccitello
We live in a world of contrast and it’s sad we are among people who can’t seem to grasp the differences surrounding them. - Dominic Riccitello
When you look in the mirror, do you look at yourself or for yourself? - Dominic Riccitello
When you complete yourself is when you can complete someone else. - Dominic Riccitello
I'm accustomed to toxicity and can’t control myself when I’m near it. - Dominic Riccitello
He said he liked my rhythm. I said I liked his heartbeat, and it was within that moment I knew our corners would never meet. - Dominic Riccitello
I write in seconds. I don’t stop. I don’t think. I simply write and when it comes, it flows and it makes sense because it’s genuine. I don’t understand thought-out poetry. It doesn’t seem real to me. - Dominic Riccitello
He grabbed my hand and that’s when I felt my heart beat for the very first time. - Dominic Riccitello
Don’t allow people to come in and out of your life when it only benefits them. - Dominic Riccitello
We do things because we want it, not because they’re good for us. - Dominic Riccitello
Relationships aren’t meant to be based upon example. If you go with the flow all will come. - Dominic Riccitello
He said he was going to fix everything and I believed him. But I believed him before and again some. And I guess I got lost in the resentment of disbelief. - Dominic Riccitello
How can you be afraid to live yet scared to die? - Dominic Riccitello
Eventually I’ll stop writing about you and it’ll be bittersweet. Not because I’m not in love with you, but because I’ll just love you. - Dominic Riccitello
He was good and then really good and then bad and then really bad, but since he was good I got lost in the thought that I could fix it. - Dominic Riccitello
The meaning of life is to die living it. - Dominic Riccitello
Sure, he might not have been perfect, but if I thought he was, isn’t that all that matters? - Dominic Riccitello
Maybe I hold on for too long, but maybe you don’t hold on for long enough? - Dominic Riccitello
The problem was I always took the blame. But he was wrong. But I thought me taking the blame could fix it. - Dominic Riccitello
All of your fears and thoughts were mine, you were so scared but it was beyond divine. - Dominic Riccitello
We grow apart because we grow in different stages and not all of our stages align. - Dominic Riccitello
I became to understand you and all of you. - Dominic Riccitello
I worked with him in a way where there was no need to align. We felt and the feeling was simple but complex. It was the intensity in our grasp and when it was done, it was done. - Dominic Riccitello
Arrogance will kill anything and everything you ever possibly have. - Dominic Riccitello
You don’t get over it. You move past it. You move through it. You lose yourself to find it, and when found, it’s yours and no longer theirs. - Dominic Riccitello
As he stood in the darkness, his eyes glistened and that’s when I knew my light found its traction. - Dominic Riccitello
He was beautiful and still is, we just couldn’t flow within the same constellation. - Dominic Riccitello
Occasionally we must disconnect to reconnect later on. - Dominic Riccitello
Looking back and wondering if it could have worked eventually hurts more than trying and failing. - Dominic Riccitello
My months are spent preparing for the fall. - Dominic Riccitello
It was perfect, but perfection is terrifying. - Dominic Riccitello
It was love. It was lust. It was just between us. The passion, the desire, the fire. The way we held on in so little time and his eyes when he saw me for the first time. - Dominic Riccitello
I danced as he twirled in and out of consciousness, and there we were, one in love and the other astray. - Dominic Riccitello
Some fake happiness, some fake sadness and some fake an orgasm. - Dominic Riccitello
We grooved together with a rhythm so beautiful that I could feel the moment turned into poetry. - Dominic Riccitello
You can’t patch cracks on a glass house. - Dominic Riccitello
I fear falling in love and understanding why. - Dominic Riccitello
I love you, but I’m more in love with myself and that’s the problem. - Dominic Riccitello
I, too, was fiercely independent and thought I could make two equal four. - Dominic Riccitello
I see you in every passing moment. - Dominic Riccitello
They’re scared of the other kind of love. The one which lacks hurt, but pains after awhile. - Dominic Riccitello
Maybe the problem isn’t everything and everyone around you, but what lies within you. - Dominic Riccitello
When someone says they love you, don’t believe it. Love is shown with actions and not words. - Dominic Riccitello
Some people you’re not meant to get over. - Dominic Riccitello
Sometimes he does talk back, but sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes he’s not there; and from time to time I believe this was all nothing but imaginary. - Dominic Riccitello
I never said I love you because I knew he would understand it differently. I loved him, and I still do, but it was as a chapter. It wasn’t as a fairytale ending. - Dominic Riccitello
His love was a poison: soft and loveable, hideous yet touchable. - Dominic Riccitello
I’m not looking for anything, but who knows. Lightning is weird. - Dominic Riccitello
We can’t be afraid to dismiss the unappreciative. - Dominic Riccitello
Three years later and I’m still writing about you. I don’t know if that says more about you or I. - Dominic Riccitello
He wasn’t a good person, but I painted him to be and since I painted it, I believed it. - Dominic Riccitello
Wrote you a poem or two. You didn’t enjoy them, but I did for you. - Dominic Riccitello
All of my bad ideas were always my best. - Dominic Riccitello
Losing someone doesn’t scare me. Death doesn’t scare me. What scares me is the inability to no longer feel the touch of the one you love. - Dominic Riccitello
I don’t remember his face or the place we ate. I only remember how he grabbed my hand and his voice when he spoke of his dad. - Dominic Riccitello
And sometimes being in love is not enough to make it work. - Dominic Riccitello
Some long for acceptance while others fear for anything ordinary. - Dominic Riccitello
we were justlooking for what couldinstead of what waswhat should beinstead of how it was - Dominic Riccitello
Who knows if you’re alive anymore, but better yet, who knows if I’m even alive anymore? - Dominic Riccitello
I didn’t know what it was, who I was or who he was. I just knew what we could have become as one. - Dominic Riccitello
I never expected you to understand, but I did expect you to be there. - Dominic Riccitello
I love you, but there will be a dozen more too. - Dominic Riccitello
Instead of writing my rules, I followed his. And that’s when I knew it all went wrong. - Dominic Riccitello
I pushed him against his Jeep, looked him dead in the eye and kissed him. He asked if he could come up, and I just walked up the steps and said, not yet. That was the moment I knew I loved him. - Dominic Riccitello
Hallucinations aren’t always out of the ordinary. How do we know we’re not hallucinating if everything seems plausible? - Dominic Riccitello
I write the right. I do the left. - Dominic Riccitello
You don’t need them. It’s that simple. But for some reason it’s complex. It’s difficult. It’s dangerous. We can’t seem to fathom it. - Dominic Riccitello
I gave him my heart without thinking how it would feel if he returned it. - Dominic Riccitello
You didn’t understand the poem, but that was because it wasn’t for you. It was for me to understand the pain you put me through. - Dominic Riccitello
We were in ways I can’t seem to grasp. We moved like fluid, scattering our love throughout each other. We moved along, out of our eyes and through our veins. It was unintentionally and in turn, unconditionally. - Dominic Riccitello
Old-fashioned dating still exists. You’re either dating the wrong people or you are the problem. - Dominic Riccitello
I loved you before all of this. When there was nothing. When there was only a single atom in the night sky. - Dominic Riccitello
I let go so you could grab on. - Dominic Riccitello
I’m floating. I’m flowing. I’m loving, but I’m going. - Dominic Riccitello
His whisper was the softest sound I ever knew, which seemed to bring the loudest heartbeat. - Dominic Riccitello
People love the facade of a perfection relationship because perfection seems alluring. What they don’t realize is perfection is terrifying. - Dominic Riccitello
I see more light than dark, but when I encounter dark I seem to get lost in it. - Dominic Riccitello
And I went into the new year loving myself a little less, but a little more where it actually mattered. - Dominic Riccitello
I think if we stop running towards broken arms, we’d all be just fine. - Dominic Riccitello
