Preferences

We have an eye for beauty,

that enthrall us by its presence,

sometimes we admire, from afar,

or embrace them in our arms. 

We are unique, in our desires,

that are catered by beautiful liars,

showing us unattainable dreams,

through the promotion of their living.

So, we create false values,

chasing the person, we can use,

rather than one, who compliments,

our ideals and reason of being. 

But then, we favor better options,

for partners, who match our worth,

the present lifestyle opens up opportunities, 

to wait and explore, for a better deal.

And so, we keep on playing games,

losing precious time, in the process,

causing the hurt, and disappointments, 

by making a light of many relationships. 

Gone were those days, 

when we appreciated intellect, 

the genuineness of connections, 

or the integrity of the person.

Nor, we put effort in similar kind,

and be more acceptable to our find,

being too self-centered, in our pursuit,

putting our opinions, as an absolute. 

Now, love comes with various conditions,

satisfying societal or financial positions,

there's no interest, to see from other's lenses,

as we prioritize our personal preferences. 

Still, we should celebrate, this thought process, 

for, they do define, our unique essence,

may we find partners with shared passion,

whom we love, from our hearts and soul.
