We went for a walk In a driving snowstorm The wind flung handfuls of Ice and snow at our faces And caught Our breaths Unaware You took my hand I held on tightly— Afraid to let you go Afraid my love would not be enough Afraid the wind would carry you away I held on tightly— Until we could breathe freely Until our love wound healed Until we were together again

Nice allegory!
This is lovely. I often fall asleep at night imagining that I'm in a cabin in the wilderness, and there's a snowstorm outside but I'm safe and warm inside.
