True Love Does Exist Poem by azmat naushad asif

True love does exist
It's the love for oneself
Some call it selfishness
Some call it defense

But I call it love for oneself
Why should I be ashamed?
When I flaunt loving others
Can't I flaunt loving myself?

When the opportunity
Knocks, I ran as fast as I can
Leaving others behind, to open
The door and shake hands.

Sometimes I make mistakes
As every human being do
But I blame it on others if I can
As I am no saint pure and good

Money does matter
And it matters a lot
More than big sermons
And smallest ceremonies

I like meeting and dating
Strangers, who like me more
For my looks. The only thing stable
Other than my changing nature

I break some hearts
Some break my mine
A game fair enough
Unlike " I do and you are forever mine"

Some call me opportunistic
Some call me mean
But I call myself
Sharp and keen

Surprisingly I take the happiness
Smiling I take the pain
I have earned both myself
So there is no other to blame

There is no true love
Except for oneself
And when I will lose that
I have surely lost my heart
And lost my mind.
