Another Rainy Night(Without You)

Eriol gazed around him trying to pinpoint the voices,but found nothing. {Maybe I'm imaganing it}he thought. But deep down inside he knew he had heard that sweet,heavenly,God-sent voice that only his Madison-chan could produce.

Many a night had he listened to his Madison sing in those amazing notes,that soothing tone. He new Madison's love of the word 'kawaii'. He finally returned to a now sleeping Li,tucked sweetly on his ancecestor's shoulder. From what Eriol could figuire,it was probally around 8:30 pm,the funeral had already passed by,and the worst thing that could happen,did. It started to pour.

Eriol took Li and sat in Li's car. Eriol had brought some food from the funeral(apparently,in grand tradition,the Li's didn't think that much on death as bad,but the continuation of this into something more,and hence should be celebrated). Eriol turned on the radio to drown out the torential noise of rivers falling from the sky. Just a week before that blasted prom,Eriol and Madison had a huge fight,and now as this song played,Eriol remembered that arguement. It went like this:

Don't slam the door
On your way out
Don't leave without saying
Good-bye
Another long-distance night alone
You leave me wanting,
Leave me always wanting more

Eriol felt that pain now,for every second without Madison was a moment Eriol regretted. Especial now that she was gone. Why had he taken her warm smile,the very esscence of her being,for granted? Why did he,Clow Reed,greatest sorceror,think she would live for eterninty?

Last word today
Coming home to stay
Wouldn't that be nice
For awhile

Eriol ate his now barely warm Chow-Meing. He thought about how Madison's skin felt when she was with him,and now how cold she had become. He used his intellect to guesstimate his food to be somwhere in between,around 68 degrees.

But now my take-out food
is growing cold
And the candle's
Burnt a hole in the floor
And I'm
Still waiting for the ring
Of the phone

Eriol looked at how peaceful Li looked. Just an hour ago,Li was so sad,he had cried till his eyes were raw. It was a miracle he even managed to close them. But now he looked so serene.

{Oh well}thought Eriol as he drifted back to his dear Madison.

I'm all alone
It's just another
Rainy night
Without you
Guess I leave the light on
For you
It's just another
Rainy night
Without you

A foghorn jolted the usually alert and aware Eriol to his surroundings. Ocean infront,forest in back,and clouds that rode up outta nowhere above. Eriol just wanted to go,but didn't dare start Li's car. Li never allowed anyone,not even Meilin or Sakura to drive this automobile. On nights like this one,Eriol and Madison would play tag,and run around,and then find a private place and have the best damn sex that you could think of. Now all that was gone.

Listen
There's a foghorn blowing
From the coast tonight
Remember making love
In the rain?
Strange how laughter
Looks like crying
With no sound
Raindrops taste like tears
Without the pain

How true,how true. These similes reminded of all the good and bad Madison and him had been through in the past 7 years. 7 years. That sounded so strange now.

I'm not much without you
Can't leave if I want to
Maybe that's way you stay
Around

Stay around?! Madison hadn't stayed around for Eriol. She had moved on. Gone to see great things than even this once great young man could show her. She moved up,while he sank down. Why?

But tonight I'll sit hear tending the fire
And pace the floor a hundred times in an hour
And check the voicemail for the message you've called

That phone call on Eriol's voicemail the day after the fight. He clearly remembered the words "Sorry,sweety,I didn't mean to hurt you. If you're there,I didn't mean a single word I said. Please forgive me." Madison was wimppering by that last part. It hurt him so much to hear his love in that much pain. He eventually found her ad forgave her. She accepted his appology,too.

I'm all alone
It's just another
Rainy night
Without you
Waiting by the phone
Alone
It's just another
Rainy night
Without you
Guess I'll leave the light on
For you

Eriol started to break as he heard the powerful words. He ached for his love,his life. The reason he existed. Madison. Where did she go? Was she there now? Eriol craved amsweres.

I know I've said it before
Hate the sound of the
Closing door
And your footsteps walking away

Eriol actually wanted to those evil sounds now,at least his Madison would be alive to make them.

Prechorus 1

Madison wondered{Should I let him know like Sakura did with Li that I'm still here,right now?} Madison replayed this question over and over as she rested her chin inside the car window,surprisingly rolled down.

Chorus 2

Then,in perfect harmony,she finished the song right to her beloved and broken Eriol-kun.

"It's just another rain
Just another rainy
Just another rainy night
Without you."
