Ultimate Selfish Love -In remembrance of Ayn Rand I would not lift a finger to help you If it is not for myself I would not cry if it were not for my own sorrow I filled my dimples with all the happiness coming from you I filled myself of you Me, I am the container of you I am a mirror of you I am the filter of all your trouble Just because I love you I love you as much I love myself I love you as selfishly as the fact that I exist As selfishly as my lungs breathe air. I breathe for my own necessity, For the fuel of my soul, for my own survival. I have given you, not my sacrifice, not my pity, but My ego and my naked need. Just because I love you. Now if I tell you to forget the world and your struggle To feel no anger No concern and no hope, Just to exist for me, for my need of you As my property, as my prey You might say: I would obey you. But you would not You would say: You would love me as much as you need the air As your necessity Take me and use me As your own means to survive I want you to love me As selfishly as you love your money, Your assets and all your property I felt the triumph of conquering you The same triumph as I conquered myself The feeling that I give myself one hundred percent The feeling that I have been totally submissive I want you to remain in the battle you have chosen Because a battle is never selfless. You said, Come and kiss my hand I would kneel down and kiss your feet. I must learn not to be afraid of the world. Not to be held by it nor withdraw from it. We should accept all the happiness and sorrow As God gives us the way what they had been intended to be. I have given you my ultimate love This is my Romantic Manifesto to you.
