Why?

I often wonder/
why did
we fall in love /
when
we have nothing in common?

I love the mountains and you
the sea; /
vegetables disgust me/
while you can literally thrive on them/

I am three and twenty /
but I have
the temperament of a toddler /
while
you share my age yet sport the wisdom of a saint/

I sleep and wake up when I
please/
I care not for time /
but
anyone can set their clocks by you!

Why then did our hearts beat
for each other /
when all
we have in common /
is the uncommon?!

Ah! I see a delicate thread connecting
our souls/
igniting our hearts and that bound us
in love; /
a legacy of pain and hurt!
