Wind

An enigma, this one is

The wind is dangerous tonight, my love

It is too powerful for me to face it alone

Give me your hand, and I won't fly away

I've never been much for romance, dear

You know that, from stories

But tonight I can't survive without it

This wind is the most destructive I've ever seen

Letting go will kill, holding on will keep me here

One more precious, precious day

Hopefully that one more precious day

Is spent with the person I love

I'll hold your hand if you allow it

So the wind doesn't hurt us anymore

I can really feel this write here,

The wind is dangerous tonight, my love
It is too powerful for me to face it alone
Give me your hand, and I won't fly away

especially this part, I can feel this. such an emotional read here. nicely expressed

I very much like your idea of using "wind" in this message, which can represent all the thing that can blow us away from the thing we most want or love. Your descriptions of being buffeted by the wind are well-done and I especially like the "hand-holding" lines which are also full of extra meaning.
