Why This One

Of all the lives to live, why this one? Filled with could have been no fun Countless nights of anxious frustration Of all the lives to live, why this one? And of all the souls to meet, why these two? One old and dark furious as a shrugging ocean Other shiny fresh as a winter morning Of all the souls to meet, why these two? Another night in bed with you Another day beside you gone Slipping it in softly off to sleep You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?" Dusty simple minded piece of fiction Strange and odd twisted as a contradiction Glittering jewel of flaws and celebration Another night in bed with you Another day beside you gone Slipping it in softly off to sleep You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?" You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?" You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?" Why this one? Why this one? Why this one?
