Rain and Sorrow

Rain and Sorrow

Syaoran read Sakura's letter and immediately felt depressed that his love was feeling so bad. He wanted her to know that she wasn't alone. He sat down at his desk, and decided to write a poem back, now that he had a break from his training and studying, and since he couldn't go out anyway, because they had a major rainstorm of their own. He took out a green piece of paper and began to write….

The rain falls again

When my thoughts turn to you

To comfort me in my darkest hour

Shedding skies' tears upon my face

It comforts me little

Yet adds to my despair

Away from you I cannot live

My days of happiness are gone

Thoughts of love bring me pain

Because me love's away from me

My greatest wish is to be with you

The happy smiles upon my friends faces

The cheerful glint in lover's eyes

No friend or foe could cause me such sorrow

Than your pleasant aura away from me

Rain and tears run hand in hand

Despair and sorrow do too

Both wrap a cold blanket around my heart

And to my soul…all the way through

It rains and it rains

Well into the night

I stand in the middle

Freezing water dripping off my skin

I just don't care anymore

The rain can completely cover me

My tears mix with heavens' tears

Creating a pool beneath me

I wish it would just raise up

Cover me and swallow me whole

For then I would feel no agony

I would feel nothing at all

I write this not to worry you

I need not compassion nor pity

Simply know you're not alone

For I sincerely…miss you too

Syaoran stood in the middle of the rain, completely drenched and soaked. He looked up and closed his eyes, his thoughts reverting to Sakura's smiling face. He smiled. Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
