If I were the wind!

If I were the wind, you would be the leaf, hanging unfazed on the lonely tree.
Would you still be as unrelenting as now, and leave me alone in the night?

If I were the wind, you would be the ocean tide, standing tall in the moonlight.
Would you still be as stubborn as now, and cuddle the shore by being the ebb?

If I were the wind, you would be the river, flowing away in the chasm.
Would you still be as single-minded as now, and kiss the rocks instead of me?

If I were the wind, you would be the rain, dripping down in elation.
Would you still be as rigid as now, and hold straight even in my arms?

If I were the wind, you would be the kite, maneuvered by your inner strings.
Would you still be as tenacious as now, and fight my persistent pushes?

If I were the wind, you would be the thunder, growling away with power.
Would you still be as unyielding as now, and overshadow me with voices loud?

If I were the wind, you would be the storm, rushing ahead with all your ferocity.
Would you still be as decimating as now, and ruin my life with your love lethal?
