description: Rhoades Loneliness. The pain doesn't simply go away with time. It's been years, and they tell me I need to move on. But I can't.  Blame and regret are my constant companions. Until I see him in the spotlight and everything changes. Night after night, I watch him dance. Thinking about him.  What he'd feel like.  What he'd taste like.  And now that I know, I want him even more. And maybe...just maybe, he might want me too.  But not yet.  Not before he knows he's more than a pretty face. Not before he knows what he means to me. I need him by my side.  The two of us. Together.  Austin Why can't I forget him? His hands touching me. His mouth on mine. Kissing me. Rendering me mindless.  Breathless.  Every night I lay awake burning for him. Dreaming. Thinking. Needing him.  No-I don't. I don't need anyone. I lie.  I want him. I want more. I am more. He's seen that, and now here I stand with my dream on the horizon. All I need to do is take that first step. Trust him.  Trust myself.
